Oyebode revealed that the new arrangement commences on Monday, September 9, 2024, and excludes essential workers like teachers, core health workers in hospitals, and security personnel.
Each Ministry, Department, and Agency, MDA, is expected to produce a workable schedule for staff to ensure 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.
The arrangement does not affect other palliative measures put in place by the state government, including the monthly wage award and free bus service.
Oyebode emphasized that the Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji-led administration is committed to workers’ welfare and will continue implementing measures to enhance productivity.
The government aims to boost productivity and efficiency among civil servants through this arrangement.
