Gov. Dapo Abiodun of Ogun on Wednesday in Abeokuta approved two days as off-duty days weekly for officers on Grade Level (GL) 01 to 14 in the state government’s employment.

The State Head of Service, Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, in a statement said officers on GL 15 to 17 were however to maintain the weekly one-day off-duty arrangement in place earlier.

“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,” he said.

Onasanya described Gov. 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.

Onasanya then urged all accounting officers to immediately implement the policy in their respective ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) by working out the modalities.

”This is to ensure that the off-day system is scheduled in such a way that service delivery is not compromised,” the Head of Service said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Gov. Abiodun had in July 2023 introduced the one day off work policy for all grade levels.
