Two Day Off Every Week For Workers has been declared by government over Fuel Price Hike.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has approved two days off duty per week for officers on Grade Level 01-14, while officers on Grade Level 15-17 are to maintain one day off duty per week.
A statement by the State Head of Service, Kehinde Onasanya, said the gesture is aimed at further easing the burden on the teeming workers who now face more significant challenges commuting to work.
According to him, the gesture is expected to translate to substantial relief while also enhancing service delivery through a more motivated and energized workforce.
He described Governor Abiodun as highly committed to the welfare of workers, urging all accounting officers to immediately implement the policy in their respective Ministries Departments Agencies by working out modalities to ensure that the day off system is scheduled in such a way that service delivery is not compromised.
Onasanya stated that Governor Abiodun had, in July 2023, introduced the one day off work policy for all grade levels, adding that the current extension to two days off work for GL 01-14 is to further reduce the financial burden on workers and increase productivity.
