Edo State Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa, has said that the new work policy of the state will not affect productivity.
“According to the directive of the Governor, workers in Edo State will work three days a week, and offices will not be shut in the two days of the five working days as we would have officers on the ground to continue government activities. People should continue to visit government offices as the offices are open for business.
“The template of COVID-19 will be reactivated as offices were not shut, as arrangements are in place for officers to come to work, ensuring government activities continue provided nobody is forced to work more than three days a week.” Okungbowa stated that people who want to work more than three days a week should be allowed to do so as the conducive environment and uninterrupted internet service attract workers to continue to come to work, and such people will be commended.
“Heads of agencies, MDAs, and PSs of various ministries should develop the work templates and ensure that what they do works for them and ensure government services are not interrupted,” he added. On other steps by the government to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal on the people, the Head of Service said, “There will be shuttle buses running between Government House, State Secretariat, and JOOPSA to ease the hike in transportation fare caused by subsidy removal on petrol. The shuttle bus will leave every hour of the workday to help reduce the stress of workers in the state.All rights reserved.
