In what can be best described as a long awaited development,the federal executive council (FEC), presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, on Wednesday, approved 14-day paternity leave for civil servants.
The Head of Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, disclosed this to State House Correspondents on Wednesday after the week’s virtual FEC meeting presided over by Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to her, this is to enable proper bonding between the father and a newborn, natural-born or adopted especially at the early stages of the child’s life.
Mrs. Yemi -Esan further explained that fathers of adopted babies of less than four months will also enjoy this gesture.
