Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State on Wednesday in Abeokuta approved two days off-duty days weekly for officers on Grade Level 01 to 14 in the state government’s employment.
The Head of Service, Kehinde Onasanya, said officers on GL 15 to 17 were however to maintain the weekly one-day off-duty arrangement.
Onasanya said: “The gesture is aimed at further easing the burden on the teeming workers who now face more significant challenges commuting to work.
“It is also expected to translate to substantial relief while also enhancing service delivery through a more motivated and energised workforce.”
Onasanya described Governor Abiodun as highly committed to the welfare of workers.
He pointed out that the current extension to two days of off-work for grade level 01 to 14 staff would further reduce the financial burden on workers and increase productivity.
