The Digest: ​

The Federal Government has directed civil servants working within the Federal Secretariat in Abuja to work from home on Friday, March 27, 2026, as part of measures to accommodate the All Progressives Congress national convention at Eagle Square. According to a circular issued by the Head of the Civil Service, access roads leading to and around the Federal Secretariat Complex, Phases I, II, and III, will be closed from Friday to Saturday. Workers in affected offices, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are to stay off-site on Friday.

Key Points:
  • The road closures affect Phases I, II, and III of the Federal Secretariat Complex and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
  • The directive is in effect from Friday, March 27, to Saturday, March 28, 2026.
  • Civil servants in affected areas are required to work from home on Friday.
  • The APC national convention is scheduled to be held at Eagle Square, a venue adjacent to the Federal Secretariat.
  • Heads of ministries, departments, and agencies have been directed to ensure compliance.
As the APC holds its national convention, the closure of major roads and the work-from-home directive underscore the scale of the event, while disrupting normal operations for thousands of civil servants.
