In the wake of the review of the Quarantine Act and the Kaduna State Public Health Law, which quarantined all residents of the state for over three months, the state government has directed its civil servants to resume work on Monday.
According to a circular from the Office of the Head of Service released by Ibrahim Jere, a Permanent Secretary, different categories of workers would work on different days of the week, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
He said that all Permanent Secretaries, Directors General, Chief Executives of Agencies and Parastatals as well as Directors would work from Monday to Friday.
Jere further stated that officers on Grade Level 14 and above would work on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while officers on Grade Level 7 to 13 would work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only.
The permanent secretary also said that in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, visitors would be restricted from offices.
“The order will be enforced by assigning staff officers to identify their staff at the entrance gate from 8.30 a.m. to 9.30 a.m.’’ he said.
Jere pointed out that COVID-19 prevention protocols would be strictly complied with by Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) as well as all arms of government.
The COVID-19 protocols include social distancing at workplaces, subjecting all workers to temperature checks at the entrance of the MDAs, observing respiratory hygiene and hand washing.
