Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has approved an additional two days off per week for public servants on Grade Levels 01-14, while officers on Grade Levels 15-17 will continue to receive one day off weekly.

The State Head of Service, Kehinde Onasanya, announced that this measure is intended to alleviate the burden on workers facing increased commuting challenges due to rising fuel prices. Onasanya explained that the initiative aims to provide significant relief while boosting productivity by ensuring a more motivated and energized workforce.

He praised Governor Abiodun's dedication to workers' welfare and urged all accounting officers in ministries, departments, and agencies to implement the policy immediately. The scheduling of the off days should be managed to maintain efficient service delivery.

Onasanya also noted that this decision expands upon the governor's earlier policy from July 2023, which introduced one day off per week for all grade levels. The current extension to two days for Grade Levels 01-14 is designed to further reduce financial strain and enhance worker productivity.
