Fuel Price Hike: Lagos Declares 3Months Work-From-Home for Workers
The Lagos State Government has extended its work-from-home policy for workers for the next three months to alleviate the pain caused by the fuel pump prices increase.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, granted the extension effective from September 4, 2024 via a circular signed by the state Head of Service, Bode Agoro.
Recall that on February 28, the governor mandated that the staff work remotely on certain days.
He directed that employees in grades 1-14 be permitted to work from home two days per week, while those in grades 15-17 be allowed to work from home one day per week.
The action was intended to mitigate the effects of the elimination of fuel subsidies on workers.
In the circular Sanwo-Olu expressed optimism that the policy would pose a beneficial influence on workers productivity in the various ministries, departments, and agencies of the state government.
