Why will he have more than one wife to start with it?

Even the civil service can't take care of his wahala if that's the case.

what did the father do to deserve such a leave?

He had a new baby

This is a very good development. most fathers don't bond with their kids and they miss out on a loving relationship because of this.

I love my state ENUGU. ENUGU kwenu...

My dear is 3 WEEKS not 3 Months....

I am not comfortable with this new policy.

What if a man has more than one wife as tradition as tradition approves and more than one of his wives gives birth (whether they work in the civil service or not), will the man be granted 3 weeks leave for such in a year?

Nice move

U read without understanding. he is to support the wife who give birth for 3 weeks. Ur ilk will see nothing good in it.

this is a welcome development

Enugu approves three-week paternity leave

AUGUST 6, 2015 : IHUOMA CHIEDOZIE
     



The Enugu State Government has amended its Civil Service rules to grant six months maternity leave to nursing mothers.

Interestingly, husbands whose wives might put to bed were also given a ‘paternity leave’, but it would only be for just three weeks.

The paternity leave was meant to give such husbands the opportunity to support their nursing wives, according to the state government.

Before, female workers who gave birth were entitled to three months maternity leave while the men whose wives delivered babies were not exempted from work.

Similarly, the state government also resolved that henceforth, nursing mothers were free to breast-feed their babies in offices during work hours.

The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sam Ngwu, who disclosed these in Enugu on Wednesday, said the new policy would strengthen the family as a social unit and also promote mother and child welfare.

Unveiling plans to mark the 2015 Breast Feeding Week in the state, Ngwu explained that the extension of the maternity leave would encourage nursing mothers in the state to engage in the internationally recommended four to six months exclusive breast feeding of newborn babies.

The commissioner, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Moses Otiji, noted that the state has been marking ‘’the Breast Feeding Week’’ every year in order to galvanise support for nursing mothers.

Ngwu further explained that the theme of this year’s Breast Feeding Week – ‘Breast feeding and work, let’s make it happen’, was in line with the state government’s commitment to the needs of nursing mothers and newborns.

He said nursing mothers should be allowed to continuously breast feed their babies anywhere they work, whether in the private or public sector.

According to him, lectures would be organised for nursing mothers in the course of the breast feeding week to enable them learn more about exclusive breast feeding.

“The week is dedicated to draw the attention of the public on the need for exclusive breast feeding.

“The breast contains yellow milk that contains most of the vital ingredients for healthy growth of the baby.

“It protects the baby from diseases and promotes bonding between mother and child,” he added.

I see your point bro.These lacunas are always present in our laws and this makes people exploit every loophole in it.since this is noticed early, the enugu state government should limit it to only one official wife.

Shonekon asked madam secretary 2 join him so they could go 4 Fraternity leave...lwkmd!!



#this one Nigeria program is fuckin interesting!!

Biafran men will jsut waste the 3weeks in beer palour and search for osho to blow their job.

solo in the bible had more than 400 wiffy and 0ver 200 oloshos'''and the dude is a role model

Are girlfriends included in this?

Good one

tolustx:
Good development. The 3 weeks leave for d man is long tho. In my opinion, too long. Lagos state gives women 6 months and the husbands 2 weeks.

It's for the best. You wont understand it especially if Your work schedule doesn't give time to see your family.

preciousMI1:
population growth will increase...

Just Hope It doesn't backfire. Secondly I hope when they go on six months leave, the following year they wouldn't ask for another leave. The six months leave will create much work load for other staffs in the same department that perform similar function.

naijainfogalery:
well thats a good one, if a woman gets pregnant people would touch her belly and say congrats but nobody would touch the guys something and say nice job, same way if a woman gets 6 months maternity leave the man too would get 3 weeks to rest his thing for a job well done.

Nice one Governor

This is Africa you know and if anyone touches the man's thing, he might read meaning into it. You don forget say John THOMAS DEY VANISH DIS DAYS

Nairalandi:
