- The arrangement is aimed at further cushioning the effect of the current economic situation on workers in the state
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has approved a work-from-home arrangement for civil servants in the state.
The arrangement is aimed at further cushioning the effect of the current economic situation on workers in the state.
According to a statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor, Mr Yinka Oyebode, under the new arrangement, officers on levels 01-07 will work from home three days a week.
Also, officers on levels 08-12 are to work from home two days a week, while officers on levels 13-17 will work from home once a week.
The new arrangement, which commences on Monday, September 9, 2024, excludes essential workers like teachers, core health workers in hospitals, and security personnel, among others.
According to the governor’s directive, each MDA is expected to produce a workable schedule for staff to ensure that the new work-from-home arrangement does not jeopardize effective service delivery.
The arrangement will be in place for a period of two months and is subject to periodic review in line with prevailing circumstances.
Also, the arrangement does not affect other palliative measures put in place by the state government, including the monthly wage award for workers and pensioners, and the free bus service for workers and students.
The Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji-led administration is committed to workers’ welfare and will continue to implement necessary measures to enhance their productivity.
