Sanwo-Olu made this known during a live media chat on Arise Tv.

He said that workers in the teaching sector will maintain the five days a week work schedule and the state government will ensure additional transport support for them.

The governor further stated that as part of measures to ease the economic challenges on residents, civil servants from level 1-14 will begin to work three days a week.
