Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The Lagos State government has directed all public
servants to resume work, seven months after the workers were
directed to work from home as a result of the coronavirus
(COVID-19) outbreak in the country.
Mr Hakeem Muri-Okunola, the Head of Service in the state, issued
the directive in a circular obtained by Channels Television on
Saturday.
He noted that the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, gave the
approval for resumption of all public servants, especially those on
salary grade levels 1 – 12 who have been working from home since
March.
The circular with reference number CIR/HOS/20/Vol.1/115 and
dated October 30, 2020, asked the government workers to resume on
Monday.
Muri-Okunola explained that the approval of the governor
followed the advisories and recommendations of the Presidential
Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 and the State Ministry of Health.
He, however, asked the accounting officers to maintain
attendance duty roster and ensure strict compliance with all
COVID-19 protocols in the workplace, thereby ensuring physical
distancing in respective Ministries, Departments, and Agencies
(MDAs).
Those copied in the circular included the deputy governor,
speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, the chief judge, and
the secretary to the state government.
