Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has approved the extension of maternity leave to six months for state government employees.

The Commissioner for Establishment and Training, Prof. Daud Shangodoyin, said this while briefing journalists at the end of the State Executive Council Meeting in Ibadan on Tuesday.

The commissioner said the governor had approved an upward review of maternity leave period for pregnant women and nursing mothers in the employment of the state from four months to six months.

He added that the council also adopted the World Health Organisation recommendation on exclusive breast-feeding of a child.

Shangodoyin stated that the council, after deliberating on a memorandum for the review, agreed to an upward review of the leave from four to six months.

He said weekends were inclusive, adding that the affected workers would get their full salaries and other benefits during the six months.

He stated, however, that the period of closing at 2 pm for six months has now been cancelled.

He said, “At the 38th meeting held today, we deliberated on a memorandum on the review of maternity leave for pregnant and nursing mothers in the employment of Oyo State for every motherhood and we resolved and approved as follows:

“The adoption of WHO recommendation on this matter on exclusive breast-feeding of a child.

“An upward review of maternity leave period for pregnant and nursing mothers in the employment of the state from four to six months, weekends inclusive, with full payment of salaries and other benefits.

“Also, the period of closing at 2 pm for six months, upon resumption has been cancelled. The application shall be for civil and public service workers only.

“The Executive Council also approved that the leave shall commence from four weeks to the expected date of delivery and it shall be mandatory for beneficiaries to proceed for the four weeks pre-natal leave as specified in the civil service rule.

“Also, we approved that the review is for female employees of Oyo State Government only and it shall be enjoyed at most four times in her service years.”

Recall that in October, the Kaduna state government also extended maternity leave to six months for civil servants in the state.  Hajiya Aisha-Ummi, the Wife of Gov. Nasir El-Rufai described the extension as an investment in human capital development.
