The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a 25% reduction in transport fares for government-owned transport services.
The Governor made the announcement on Thursday during a live media chat when he said that the move is part of efforts to reduce the economic burden on Lagosians.
He also announced a reduction in the number of days civil servants are expected to be physically at work. According to him, workers in the teaching sector will, however, maintain a 5-day work schedule, but the government will ensure additional transport support for them.
Governor Sanwo-Olu announced during the live chat that the state government is finalizing plans to introduce a flexible workweek for its employees.
The governor outlined the new arrangement that would see civil servants from level 1 to 14 working from their offices for only three days a week.
Furthermore, the governor specified that employees on levels 15 to 17 are expected to report to their offices four times a week, indicating a tailored approach to different grade levels within the civil service.
This policy adjustment is poised to revolutionize the work environment for public sector workers in Nigeria’s commercial hub, aiming to improve productivity and work satisfaction among the state’s workforce.
The decision to adopt a more flexible work schedule reflects the Lagos State Government’s commitment to adopting innovative work practices that accommodate the diverse needs of its employees.
