The Federal Government has asked civil servants working in the Federal Secretariat, Abuja, to work from home on Friday, March 27, 2026, ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention.
The instruction was issued in a circular signed by Abdul Garba, Permanent Secretary of the Service Welfare Office, on behalf of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.
The circular states that access roads around the Federal Secretariat Complex, including Phases I, II, and III, will be closed from Friday, March 27, to Saturday, March 28, 2026.
The government explained that the closure is due to the use of Eagle Square for the APC national convention.
It added that staff in the affected offices should remain off-site on the specified day.
“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,” the circular stated.
Heads of ministries, departments, and agencies have also been told to make sure their staff comply with the directive.
The move comes as the APC gears up for its national convention at Eagle Square, Abuja, which is expected to bring together party leaders, delegates, and supporters from across Nigeria.
