The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has scrapped the work-from-home initiative introduced by his administration.

Sanwo-Olu has now directed all public servants to resume full on-site work from 1 April 2025.

In February 2024, the governor introduced the policy, allowing civil servants from levels one to 14 to work only three days a week.

However, in a statement on Tuesday, the Head of Service, Bode Agoro, explained that the policy was scrapped following the implementation of the new minimum wage and other welfare measures for state workers.

“Further to the implementation of the new minimum wage in the state public service and other commendable measures put in place by this administration to improve the welfare and well-being of public servants, Mr Governor has approved the cancellation of the work-from-home initiative in the Lagos State Public Service.

“Accounting officers are enjoined to note the contents of this circular and give it the service-wide publicity it deserves,” the statement read.
