Lagos govt ends remote work for public servants

The Lagos State Government has announced the termination of remote working for public servants. This decision supports the implementation of the new minimum wage in the public service.

Bode Agoro, the Head of Service, made the announcement in a statement shared with the News Agency of Nigeria
on Tuesday.

NAN reports that remote working was introduced to ease the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.

Mr Agoro stated that the administration of Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has introduced various measures to improve the welfare and well-being of public servants.

“It is hereby notified for general information that the governor has approved the cancellation of the work-from-home initiative in the Lagos State Public Service.

“The cancellation of the work-from-home initiative, which has been in place since February 2024, will take effect on March 31.

“Public servants are urged to rededicate themselves to their duties and ensure improved service delivery across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.

“Accounting Officers are instructed to give this circular the service-wide publicity it deserves,” Mr Agoro added.

NAN reports that the Sanwo-Olu-led administration approved an N85,000 minimum wage for civil servants in Lagos State on Oct. 17, 2024.
