WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: FG DIRECTS CIVIL SERVANTS TO VACATE OFFICIAL DUTIES BY 1PM ON TUESDAY

The Nigerian government has reportedly ordered federal civil servants to vacate offices on Tuesday by 1pm, hours before the official closing hour.

The directive was contained in a memo signed by Dr. Ngozi Onwudiwe, the Permanent Secretary (Service Welfare Office) for Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

According to the memo, "all federal offices are to be shut by 1 pm on Tuesday as there is a need to mobilise support for the Nigerian team ahead of the Super Eagles FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 playoff final battle against the Black Stars of Ghana at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja."
