Lagos govt ends work-from-home policy for workers

The Lagos State Government has terminated the work-from-home policy for public servants in the state.

The Lagos State Head of Service, Bode Agoro, announced this in a statement on Tuesday, February 11, 2025.

Agoro said the decision was in support of 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 removal of fuel subsidy.

According to Agoro, its cancellation aims to enhance service delivery.

Agoro stated that the administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has introduced various measures to improve the welfare and well-being of public servants.

He said: “It is hereby notified for general information that the governor has approved the cancellation of the work-from-home initiative in the Lagos State Public Service.

“The cancellation of the work-from-home initiative, which has been in place since February 2024, will take effect on March 31.

“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.”

Sanwo-Olu approved an N85,000 minimum wage for civil servants in Lagos State on October 17, 2024.
