You Can Work From Home, Oyebanji Yells Ekiti Workers
In a bid to cushion the effect of the current economic hardship in the country, Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, on Friday approved work-from-home arrangement for civil servants in the state.
According to a statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor, Mr Yinka Oyebode, under the new arrangement, officers on level 01- 07 will work from home three days a week
Also, officers on level 08- 12 are to work from home two days a week, while officers on level 13- 17 will work from home once a week.
The new arrangement, which commences on Monday, September 9, 2024, excludes essential workers like teachers, core health workers in the security personnel, among others.
According to the Governor’s directive, each MDA is expected to produce a workable schedule for staff in order to ensure that the new work- from- home arrangement does not jeopardize effective service delivery.
The arrangement will be in place to a period of two months and is subject to periodic review in line with prevailing circumstances.
Also, the arrangement does not affect other palliative measures put in place by the state government, including the monthly wage award for workers and pensioners; and the free bus service for workers and students.
The Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji administration is committed to workers’ welfare.
