The Federal Government had instructed Federal civil servants at grade levels one to 12 on Monday to stay at home as a measure to fight against the spread of coronavirus in the country.
The Head of the Civil Service, Folashade Yemi- Esan, said all non- essential public servants on the grade levels must stay at home compulsorily from March 24, 2020.
The circular issued was copied to the Chief of Staff to the President, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Vice-President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation and amongst others.
It stated, “As you are no doubt aware, the Federal Government has taken a number of measures to manage the identified cases of COVID - 19 and curtail its spread.
“Government is concerned about the welfare and safety of all public servants just as it is about other Nigerians . All public servants are, therefore, strongly advised to follow the measures being put in place by government to curtail the spread of the pandemic.
“As a further step to check the spread of COVID-19, all non- essential public servants at grade levels 12 and below are to stay and work from home with effect from Tuesday , 24th March , 2020 until further notice.
"Each Permanent Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of MDAs shall determine the essential staff within grade levels 12 and below who will continue to perform their duties in the office. It is important to stress that this is not a holiday, as any officer can be recalled; therefore, no officer should travel out of station."
