Lagos State Government workers have been directed to continue working from home.

The order affects workers on Salary Grade Levels 12 and below.

According to the Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, the extension takes effect from Monday March 1 to Friday March 26.

The government said it was important to sustain existing measures, evident in the steady decline in the number of COVID-19 cases

The HOS said the directive does not preclude any of the exempted Grade Levels from reporting for duty whenever the Accounting Officer deems it necessary.

“All are advised to continue to stay safe by observing all COVID-19 Protocols, such as Physical/Social Distancing, regular use of face mask and hand hygiene”, he noted.

Accounting Officers were ordered to ensure strict adherence to safety protocols in offices.
