The Ondo State Government on Wednesday extended the maternity leave period for its female workers from the earlier three months to six months.
He lauded the complementary roles of FIDA to ameliorate the plights of women and children in the society.
Ogundele said, “FIDA, you have been doing a great job. We have been seeing your roles in terms of activism, in terms of advocacy, and a lot of things you have been doing to help the vulnerable in the society. It is a good job and we pray God would strengthen you to keep it up.” Earlier in her remarks, the state Chairperson of FIDA, Mrs Catherine Ogunjebi, had advocated for the abolition of some seeming encumbrances in the administration of maternity leave for female civil servants irrespective of their marital status.
Ogunjebi also pleaded for the elevation of female lawyers in the service of the state to the position of Permanent Secretaries.All rights reserved.
