The public sector in Nigeria actually enjoy maternity more than private sector. Some private coy have the policy of no 2 different leave in the same year that is you can't have maternity and annual leave all in the same year. The rationale i think is you are out of work for almost half of the year and you are getting paid.

@hafees. it seems the federal government has not yet ractified that law.

^^^^^

I have always wondered at that policy. So if i got pregnant during my annual leave, they won't give me time off to have my baby? What if i am aving high blood pressure and the doctor prescribes bed rest @ 8 months, i should resign or they will fire me?

I took study leave and had my baby. Now, i am still looking at how to bend the rule to my favour cos they said there has to be a gap of 2 yrs. That is a bit unfair.
