Lagos Civil Servants to Work From Office Three Days a Week Amid Hardship

As Nigerians lament the high cost of living crisis in the country, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said that Lagos State civil servants from Level 1 to 14 will come to work physically three times a week and work virtually for the two other days to ease economic pressure in the state.

The governor, who stated this during a media chat today, also announced a 25% reduction on all public transportation in the state.

He explained that this does not mean that any form of government will be shut down, but Level 15 to 17 will miss work a day.

Governor Sanwo-Olu said the state government does not want a “charged, aggravated workforce” hence the option of a hybrid work schedule to reduce the number of days workers come to work physically.

He said the measure will reduce pressure on the roads, and reduce economic pressure on the workers.
