In a move to alleviate economic pressures on its workforce, the Lagos State Government has announced the extension of the flexible work initiative for civil servants.
This extension, disclosed in a statement by the Head of Service, Bode Agoro, on Friday, will span from June 3 to September 3.
The initiative comes as a follow-up to an earlier directive aimed at mitigating the impact of the fuel subsidy removal on public servants. The extension has been approved by the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
“Mr. Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has magnanimously approved the extension of the Flexible Work Initiative for an additional three (3) months with effect from 3rd June to 3rd September 2024,” the statement read.
