Hardship: Civil servants now go to work twice a week
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that amid rising costs and stagnant salaries, many Nigerian civil servants now work only two or three days a week to save on transportation.
In response to the economic crisis, Lagos, Ogun, and Osun states introduced official work-from-home policies, allowing civil servants to reduce their time at the office.
In Borno, Kano, and other states without official work-from-home directives, civil servants have informally reduced their workdays, struggling with stagnant salaries and rising living costs.
