Rivers recalls civil servants after covid-19 shutdown

The Rivers state government-employed workers from grade level 1-13 have been directed to resume work in their various offices with effect from today.

A statement by the state head of service, sir Rufus Godwins, on Wednesday, also urged the affected civil servant to ensure strict compliance with the mandatory covid-19 protocols of observance of social distancing, use of face mask or shield and hand sanitisers.

The statement enjoined all permanent secretaries and heads of other ministerial offices to monitor and ensure compliance with the resumption directive.

Governor Nyesom Wike had on the second wave of the pandemic exempted civil servants on grade level 1-13 from coming to work.
