Buhari has approved paternity leave for male workers.

Glamtush reports that the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has approved a 14-day paternity leave for male civil servants to allow them to bond with their babies.

This online platform understands that the decision was made after the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) held on Wednesday.

This was disclosed to State House correspondents by the Head of Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan after the week’s virtual FEC meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

According to Yemi-Esan, this is to enable for proper bonding between the father and newborn, either natural-born or adopted, especially at the early stages of the child’s life.

She added that fathers of adopted babies of less than four months will also enjoy this gesture.
