Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi has directed civil servants on salary grade levels 1-10 in the state to resume work on May 4.

The resumption notice was contained in a statement signed by Dr Chamberlain Nwele, the state Head of Service (HoS), and made available to newsmen in Abakaliki on Wednesday.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the affected category of workers had been on compulsory break as part of the state government’s precautionary measures against COVID-19 pandemic.

“The civil servants are reminded to apply all COVID-19 precautionary measures as directed by the government and stipulated guidelines by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC),” Umahi said.
