This is as the government extended its work-from-home policy for workers for the next three months to alleviate the hardship orchestrated by the hike in petrol pump prices.
The State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu approved the extension in a circular signed by the state Head of Service, Bode Agoro, on Wednesday.
Recall that the governor had on February 28, directed that the workers operate remotely on some days.
He directed that workers on grade levels 01 to 14 were allowed to work from home for two days a week, while those on grade levels 15 to 17 were allowed to work from home for one day a week.
The decision was aimed at reducing the effects of the removal of fuel subsidies on the workers.
Sanwo-Olu stated in Wednesday’s circular that the policy made positive impacts on workers’ productivity in the various ministries, departments, and agencies of the state government.
The extension took effect from September 4.
