The Lagos State Government has announced the termination of the remote work policy for public servants, a measure initially introduced to mitigate the impact of fuel subsidy removal.
The Head of Service, Mr. Bode Agoro, made the announcement in a statement shared with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday.
According to Agoro, the decision aligns with the implementation of the new minimum wage in the public service and aims to enhance service delivery.
“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.”
He further clarified that the initiative, which had been in effect since February 2024, will officially end on March 31, 2025.
“The cancellation of the work-from-home initiative, which has been in place since February 2024, will take effect on March 31,” he said.
Expectations from public servants
Public servants have been urged to recommit to their duties to ensure efficiency across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
“Public servants are urged to rededicate themselves to their duties and ensure improved service delivery across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.”
Furthermore, he directed Accounting Officers to disseminate the information widely within the public service.
“Accounting Officers are instructed to give this circular the service-wide publicity it deserves.”
