Fuel price hike: Ogun approves two days off for civil servants

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has approved two days off duty per week for officers on Grade Levels 01-14, while officers on Grade Levels 15-17 are to maintain one day off per week.

This was stated by the State Head of Service, Mr Kehinde Onasanya, on Wednesday.

Onasanya said, “The gesture is aimed at further easing the burden on workers who now face greater challenges commuting to work. It is expected to provide substantial relief while enhancing service delivery through a more motivated and energised workforce.”

He emphasised Governor Abiodun’s commitment to the welfare of workers.

Onasanya urged all accounting officers to implement the policy in their respective Ministries, Departments, and Agencies without compromising service delivery.

He added that Governor Abiodun had introduced the one-day-off work policy in July 2023 for all grade levels, and the current extension to two days off for GL 01-14 is intended to further reduce financial strain and boost productivity.
