Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has ordered all civil servants to return to full in-office work schedules, ending the remote work policy introduced nearly a year ago.

It comes after the implementation of a new minimum wage for state workers, which the government says has improved their welfare.
The work-from-home policy was introduced in February 2024 to ease economic hardship following the federal government’s removal of the petrol subsidy.
Under the arrangement, junior staff worked in the office for only two days per week, while senior officials reported daily.
Now, all civil servants are expected to resume normal Monday-to-Friday office hours in their respective ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs).
The circular stated:
“Further to the implementation of the new minimum wage in the State Public Service and other commendable measures put in place by this administration to improve the welfare and well-being of Public Servants in Lagos State, Mr. Governor has approved the cancellation of the work-from-home initiative.”
With the new directive, civil servants are expected to fully commit to their duties and enhance service delivery across the state.
