The Edo State Government has said it will provide 24-hour free Wi-Fi service in various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and other public places in the State to ensure unlimited internet access to workers.
This is an additional package to the three-day weekly work schedule for civil and public servants.
This was contained in a signed statement by the Edo State Head of Service, Anthony Okungbowa.
According to the statement, government provision of free internet is part of efforts to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal by the Federal Government as it’s committed to ensuring optimal productivity and efficiency amid the new work schedule.
“In our commitment to the welfare of our workers and ensuring optimal productivity and efficiency amid the new work schedule, we recognize the importance of internet access in enabling our workers to carry out their duties effectively as all our services have been digitalised in the State through the e-gov platform” the HOS said.
It further noted that the free Wi-Fi service will guarantee free internet access to workers and others who need internet connectivity to perform their duties and reside in proximity to the designated locations covered by the Wi-Fi service.
