The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has approved a work-from-home policy for civil servants, to further cushion the effect of the current economic situation on workers in the state.
Special Adviser to the governor on Media, Yinka Oyebode, said the new arrangement, which commences on Monday, September 9, 2024, excludes essential workers like teachers, core health workers in the hospitals and security personnel among others.
According to him, under the new arrangement, officers on levels 01- 07 will work from home three days a week, officers on levels 08- 12 are to work from home two days a week, while officers on levels 13- 17 will work from home once in a week.
Oyebode said the governor also directed each MDA to produce a workable schedule for staff to ensure that the new work-from-home arrangement does not jeopardize effective service delivery.
The arrangement will be in place for a period of two months and is subject to periodic review in line with prevailing circumstances.
