ABUJA, NIGERIA – The Federal Government has directed civil servants in the Federal Capital Territory to work from home on Friday, ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention scheduled for this weekend.
The directive, issued by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, is aimed at easing traffic congestion and ensuring security in Abuja as party delegates and stakeholders converge for the convention.
In a circular signed by the Head of Service, all ministries, departments, and agencies were advised to allow their non-essential staff to work remotely on Friday. Essential service workers, including those in health, security, and emergency services, are expected to report to their duty posts as usual.
“This measure is necessary to facilitate the smooth conduct of the APC national convention and to minimize disruption in the city,” the circular read.
The APC convention is scheduled to hold on Saturday, March 28, where new national officers will be elected to steer the ruling party’s affairs ahead of the 2027 elections.
The FCT Administration has also announced traffic diversion plans around the convention venue and urged residents to plan their movements accordingly.
