Chairman of Delta State Civil Service Commission, Nkem Okwuofu, has said that the state would soon ban civil servants who are nursing mothers from bringing babies to their offices.

Okwuofu said this on Thursday during a routine inspection exercise at the Directorate of Sustainable Development Goals in Asaba, Igbere TV reports.

She said a memo bearing the directive had been sent to all departments of government in the state.

Okwuofu, however, said the commission would provide creche facilities within ministries to enable nursing mothers to take care of their babies.

She said the facilities would provide a conducive environment for mothers to breastfeed their babies and return to work.

“Apart from the health implication of this practice, it must be known that this is against the rules and regulations of the state civil service,” she said.

Okwuofu said bringing infants to the office would expose the children to infections.

She also told workers that the commission had completed the review of the 1978 civil service rules.

Okwuofu said: “The approval of the state governor has already been secured. The document will be made available to all civil servants soon.

“The commission has also successfully established its own official website and database. This contains the retirement dates of civil servants in the state.”

This is a very good development. They only need to get it well organized to avoid unnecessary friction.

No problem. As long as they will ensure their jobs are protected. Because that for me is the only
Reason they go to work with their babies the first place

You Dy smart, where you come from?

I am really impressed by people orientated govt actions like this. I wish other state govts will copy things like this to alleviate the suffering and make life more conducive to the citizens

There is nothing like wickedness, once they will provide a day care for them at the cost of government, then its a good idea

All those people making this decisions, their kids are already teenagers or adults

They don't feel what those women feels

Please don't think that way, if you got to government office, for example INEC office to collect your voter's card, you met long queue waiting and you're told the person who is supposed to issue the card has gone to look after her baby on a working hours, how would you feel, how many people would not be able to collect in one week before collection closing date?

They should build a creche for them now.

As long as they are well taking care of in the creche.

If u say "all those people making this decisions, their kids are already teenagers or adults", that means their kids who are now teenagers & adults were once babies. So in fact, they do feel what those women feel

1978 civil service rules? And we dey complain about 1999 constitution? It is well oo

ha

U mean sly baby Mama's abi also slyin in office uku idi ala

Not extremely bad.
Create employment for nannies and day-care centres.

THIS IS A VERY BAD APPROACH OKOWA. BE WARNED AND GUIDED

Wouldn't it be wiser to be like Edo that is building a creche for its civil servants. Abi government want to give them paid leave?

Please you all should ignore this fake news it is a very big lie, my Governor will never indulge in such an act.

Past memories are quite different from present memories with those that are affected
