Ekiti Governor Introduces Work-From-Home Policy to Ease Economic Strain on Civil Servants
Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has announced a new work-from-home policy aimed at alleviating the economic pressures faced by civil servants in the state.
This initiative, set to begin on Monday, September 9, 2024, is designed to provide some relief to workers while addressing current economic challenges.
According to a statement from the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Yinka Oyebode, the policy will implement different work-from-home schedules based on staff levels.
Civil servants on levels 01-07 will be allowed to work from home three days a week.
Those on levels 08-12 will work remotely two days a week, while employees on levels 13-17 will work from home once a week.
This tailored approach aims to balance flexibility with the need for maintaining effective government operations.
It is important to note that essential workers, including teachers, core health workers, and security personnel, will be exempt from this arrangement to ensure that critical services remain uninterrupted.
Each Ministry, Department, and Agency (MDA) is tasked with creating a feasible schedule for their staff to ensure that service delivery remains efficient and effective during this period.
The work-from-home policy is set to last for two months and will be reviewed periodically to adapt to changing circumstances.
This new measure complements other existing palliative efforts by the state government, such as the monthly wage award for workers and pensioners, and the free bus service provided to workers and students.
Governor Oyebanji’s administration remains dedicated to enhancing workers’ welfare and productivity, continuously implementing measures to support and improve the working conditions of civil servants in Ekiti State.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
