COVID-19: Kogi civil servants from GL 1 - 13 to stop going to work »

In response to the ravaging spread of the Coronavirus pandemic across the country, the Kogi State Government has arrived at a decision to keep civil servants at home from Monday, 23rd March, 2020 as a preventive measure to curb the spread of the deadly virus.

Those who render critical services will be communicated through the Office of the Head of Service of the State on how to keep the system running without endangering the workers, despite the inevitable decision of Government.

In a statement signed by Kogi State Commissioner of information and communication, Hon Kingsley Fanwo, civil servants from GL 1 to 13 are to stay off workplaces for 14 days which would subject to review after the first week starting from Monday 23rd March, 2020.

Only workers from GL 1 to 13 are affected by the directive to stay at home while GL 14 and above are to report at their Offices. Those rendering essential services are to continue to go to their workplaces as they are not affected by the “Work from Home” directive.

The Governor of the State, His Excellency Alh Yahaya Bello has approved the “Work from Home” approach to ensure the virus doesn’t spread through contacts at Government offices across the State.

The Kogi State Government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the virus doesn’t find its way to the state and in the unfortunate scenario it does, Government is prepared to control and manage the cases.
