The Federal Government has approved 14-day paternity for men in the Civil Service to allow them bond with their new born babies.
The decision was approved at the Federal Executive Council meeting presided by Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folashade Yemi Esan disclosed to the media at the end of the meeting.
“We’ve also gotten approval to include paternity leave. This is something that is new. And this is something that the unions in the service asked that we include, and luckily, we’ve been able to include it.
“We’ve also been able to ensure that leave now is calculated based on working days, not on calendar days, that also has been approved. We also have introduced the transition from paper service to a digital service. So these are some of the new things that are in the new PSR that has just been approved by the federal executive council.”
