Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has approved a work-from-home arrangement for civil servants in the state to cushion further the effect of the current economic situation on workers in the state.
The arrangement will be in place for two months and is subject to periodic review in line with prevailing circumstances.
Special Adviser on Media to the Governor, Yinka Oyebode said under the new arrangement, officers on levels 01- 07 will work from home three days a week while officers on levels 08- 12 are to work from home two days a week, while officers on level 13- 17 will work from home once in a week.
The new arrangement commences on Monday, September 9, 2024, and excludes essential workers like teachers, core health workers, security personnel and others.
The Governor’s directive states that each MDA is expected to produce a workable schedule for staff to ensure that the new work-from-home arrangement does not jeopardise effective service delivery.
Also, the arrangement does not affect other palliative measures including the monthly wage award for workers and pensioners; and the free bus service for workers and students.
