The Federal Government has directed civil servants operating within the Federal Secretariat in Abuja to work from home on Friday, March 27, 2026, in preparation for the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention.
The directive was issued in a circular signed by Abdul Garba, Permanent Secretary, Service Welfare Office, on behalf of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack.
According to the circular, all access roads leading to and around the Federal Secretariat Complex, Phases I, II, and III, will be closed from Friday, March 27, through Saturday, March 28, 2026.
“All Ministries, Extra-Ministerial Departments, Agencies, and Offices located within the Federal Secretariat, Phases I, II & III, are hereby informed of the closure of all access roads leading to and around the said Federal Secretariat Complex from 27th to 28th March 2026,” the statement read.
The government explained that the measure was necessary due to the use of Eagle Square for the APC national convention, which is expected to host party leaders, delegates, and supporters from across the country.
Personnel in affected offices, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are required to stay off-site on Friday, March 27, while heads of ministries, departments, and agencies have been tasked to ensure strict compliance with the directive.
The APC convention, set to take place at Eagle Square, Abuja, is a major political event where party officials will discuss internal affairs and outline preparations for the 2027 general elections.
