Lagos Govt Cancels Work-From-Home Policy For Workers

 The Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has scrapped the work-from-home initiative introduced by his administration, di­recting all public servants to resume full on-site work from April 1, 2025.

Sanwo-Olu had in Feb­ruary 2024 announced the policy which allowed civil servants in the state from levels one to 14 to work only three days.

However, the Head of Service, Bode Agoro, in a statement on Tuesday, noted that scrapping of the policy followed the implementation of the new minimum wage and other welfare measures for state workers.

“Further to the implemen­tation of the New Minimum Wage in the state public ser­vice and other commendable measures put in place by this administration to improve the welfare and well-being of public servants, Mr. Gover­nor has approved the cancel­lation of the work-from-home initiative in the Lagos State Public Service,” the state­ment reads.

He urged all public ser­vants to rededicate them­selves to their duties and ensure improved service delivery across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.

“Accounting officers are enjoined to note the contents of this circular and give it the service-wide publicity it de­serves,” he added.
