AdminOfficers on grade level 12 and below in the Nigerian federal civil service have been directed to resume duty on Wednesday, December 1, 2021.
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to lockdown globally in 2020, the officers of the said grade levels had been directed to work from home as part of measures to curtail spread of the disease. Since then they have been working from home.
A statement signed by the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan dated November 26, 2021, stated that following the advice of the Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, officers in that category are expected to resume duty physically.
Part of the statement reads, “in line with the recommendation of the Committee on COVID-19, Mr President has approved the vaccine mandate policy. All Federal Government employees would therefore be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result done within 72 hours.”
The head of service also mandated the officers who are yet to take the COVID-19 vaccine to do so at various National Primary Health Care centres nationwide.
