The Federal Government has directed civil servants based at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja to work remotely on Friday, March 27, 2026, in preparation for the national convention of the All Progressives Congress APC.
The directive, issued through an official circular signed by Abdul Garba, Permanent Secretary of the Service Welfare Office on behalf of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, highlights that several access routes around the Federal Secretariat Complex covering Phases I, II and III will be closed from Friday through Saturday, March 28, 2026.
“All Ministries, Extra Ministerial Departments, Agencies and Offices located within the Federal Secretariat, Phases I, II and III are hereby informed of the closure of all access roads leading to and around the said Federal Secretariat Complex from Friday 27th to Saturday 28th March 2026,” the circular stated.
The closures are necessary due to activities scheduled at Eagle Square, the venue for the APC gathering. Employees whose offices fall within the affected areas have been instructed to work from home on the specified day.
“Accordingly, all personnel whose offices are located within Phases I, II and III of the Federal Secretariat Complex as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are to work from home on Friday 27th March 2026,” the circular added.
Heads of ministries, departments and agencies have been tasked with ensuring that the directive is communicated to all staff and fully observed.
“All concerned Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Agencies are kindly requested to bring the content of this Circular to the attention of their staff and ensure strict compliance,” it concluded.
