Cost Of Living: Lagos Civil Servants To Work Three Days A Week

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday, said his administration would be reducing public servants working days as part of plans to cushion the cost of living crisis in the country.

We want to start with our public servants, immediately from next week, Civil servants from the lower level will be working like three times a week and level 15-17 can work four times in a week,” Sanwo-Olu said during the ongoing media parley on economic hardship.

On the rising cost of food, he added that his administration would open more markets where Lagosians can buy food items at discounted rates.

“We will open Sunday Markets in at least 42 identified markets across Lagos State. You will be able to buy food items at a discounted price. You will only be able to buy items worth up to N25,000,” the governor said.

The governor said his administration was also constructing four food hubs to ensure food distribution in tackling rising food prices.

“Coupled with the one at Idi-Oro in Mushin, four more food hubs are under construction and 7 other locations in other local governments have also been identified for more food hubs to be developed,” Sanwo-Olu said.

He added that the 25% reduction on transport services will start this weekend for the State Public Transport system (BRT, Train, Ferry).

Furthermore, Sanwo-Olu announced a free delivery for pregnant residents across all government-owned hospitals in Lagos.

“There is an arrangement for free delivery including cesarean session at government hospitals,” he said.

On rising cost of drugs and other pharmaceutical products, the governor promised that his administration “will also give rebate on some particular drugs at our state government hospitals”.

The governor noted that his administration was also in discussions with various transport unions to reduce their fares.

“First is to express empathy with our citizens, We are not unmindful of the situation, as leaders, we must be able to solve socioeconomic problems,” Sanwo-Olu said.

He also challenged the private sector to look into what they can do for the citizens by replicating their role during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ok.
The cost of living is so high. Even the 1000watts inverters they used to sell for 8k is now 18k. That's why I have started producing my own modified square wave inverters. I don't mind helping technicians do their own by manufacturing locally or in batch. This country ehn! Chai!

Sanwo Olu most especially should be blamed for producing and advertising Tinubu. Man followed his all around like a string in apron.

Noted.

Everything you need in this life is in Jesus, forsake your sinful ways, pray, read the Bible and stay close and he will grant you your heart desires.

What do you need? Wisdom, riches, blessing, honour? You can get them all in Christ Jesus:

Rev.5.12 - saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"

So how will government maximise productivity and how does this help with the cost of living giving that salary remains the same while inflation is just galloping?

The government's state of confusion serves to enhance the image of Buhari as a genius. The government's lack of clarity makes Buhari appear brilliant. The government's confusion is effectively painting Buhari as a mastermind.
