The Federal Government has directed civil servants on Grade Level 12 and below to resume work on Wednesday December 1 with proof of Covid-19 vaccination or present a negative PCR test result done within 72 hours.
This follows the approved Vaccine Mandate Policy for all federal staff contained in a circular issued by Office of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation titled “Resumption of duties by Officers on GL 12 and below” with reference number HCSF/3065/VOL.I/107 released on Friday evening.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan said the latest directive is in line with the advice of the Presidential Steering Committee on Covid-19 chaired by Secretary to Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.

She noted that on resumption, workers will be required to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination or present a negative Covid-19 PCR test result done within 72 hours as approved by the government.
The policy appears to give the affected workers the option of providing Covid-19 test results in case they choose not to take the Covid-19 vaccination.
The Federal Government had on March 4 extended the work-from-home directive to the affected civil servants till the end of March as part of efforts to continue to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the country.
