FG Orders Remote Work for Abuja Civil Servants Ahead of APC Convention
Civil servants in Abuja’s Federal Secretariat are instructed to work remotely as authorities close access roads around Eagle Square ahead of the APC national convention.
The Federal Government has instructed civil servants at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja to work from home on Friday, March 27, 2026, in anticipation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention.
The directive was issued through a circular signed by Abdul Garba, Permanent Secretary of the Service Welfare Office, acting on behalf of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.
The circular also announced the temporary closure of access roads around the Federal Secretariat Complex—Phases I, II, and III—from March 27 to March 28, 2026.
“All Ministries, Extra-Ministerial Departments, Agencies and Offices located within the Federal Secretariat, Phases I, II & III are hereby informed of the closure of all access roads leading to and around the said Federal Secretariat Complex, from Friday, 27th to Saturday, 28th March, 2026,” the statement read.
The restriction is linked to activities scheduled at Eagle Square, which will host the APC national convention during the period.
“This is due to the use of Eagle Square for the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party on the said dates,” the circular explained.
As a result, staff working within the affected zones—including offices in Phases I, II, and III as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—have been directed to remain off-site and work remotely.
“Accordingly, all personnel whose offices are located within Phases I, II and III of the Federal Secretariat Complex as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are to work from home on Friday, 27th March, 2026,” it added.
The government also emphasized the importance of compliance, instructing ministry leaders and agency heads to ensure the directive is effectively communicated and followed.
“All concerned Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Agencies are kindly requested to bring the content of this Circular to the attention of their staff, and ensure strict compliance,” the circular stated.
