The Federal Government on Monday raised concerns over “ flagrant disregard ” for the established COVID - 19 protocols in government offices .
It directed all permanent secretaries to enforce the recommended measures to prevent the spread of the virus .
The directive was contained in a circular by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi -Esan , dated November 23 , 2020 .
Yemi -Esan said government workers and visitors had not been wearing face masks as recommended.
She also noted that instructions on physical distancing and regular washing of hands were being disregarded .
The circular reads partly, “ With great dismay , it has been observed that some officers and visitors to the offices exhibit flagrant disregard to the established COVID -19 protocols by not wearing face masks and failing to abide by other required regulations .
“ Consequent upon the above , Permanent Secretaries should deepen and sustain awareness , as well as ensure enforcement of other recommended measures to prevent the spread of the pandemic as contained in the COVID -19 guidelines . The guidelines can be accessed on the website of the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation .”
