As the Covid-19 second wave surges across the country, the Lagos State Government is set to start using a duty roaster for all its secretariat staff.
This was announced by the Lagos State Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola in their efforts to stem the tide of the virus outbreak among the staffers.
“I wish to note with deep concern the spate at which officers are testing positive to COVID-19 and hereby enjoin all accounting officers to come up with Duty Rosters to stem the outbreak in your respective MDAs,” it read in part.
It further warned that the roster should be prepared with an officer having to report for duty, at most, twice a month.
The state government implored: “Please note that this directive is without prejudice to existing directives and only reinforces same which are in effect and compliance abysmal.”
