Lagos govt cancels work-from-home for civil servants
The Lagos State government terminated the work-from-home regime for civil servants in the state.
The state’s Head of Service, Mr. Bode Agoro, disclosed this to journalists on Tuesday.
He said the decision followed the implementation of the new minimum wage in the public service.
The work-from-home initiative was introduced in February 2024 to mitigate the impact of the sudden removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government.
Agoro added that the cancellation of the remote working system was to enhance service delivery in the state.
The HoS stressed that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration has introduced various measures to improve the welfare and well-being of public servants.

“Public servants are urged to rededicate themselves to their duties and ensure improved service delivery across Ministries, Departments, and Agencies.
“Accounting Officers are instructed to give this circular the service-wide publicity it deserves.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu approved a N85,000 minimum wage for civil servants in Lagos State on October 17, 2024.
