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.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
