Workers on salary grade levels 1 – 12 who were directed to work from home since March 2020 are expected to resume fully from November 2 2020.

The circular is signed by the Head of Service, HoS Mr Muri Okunola with copies to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Lagos State government.
It states that the state government’s decision followed the informed recommendation of the Presidential Task Force on Covid19 in conjunction with the State Ministry of Health.
