The Enugu State Government has amended its Civil Service rules to grant six months maternity leave to nursing mothers.
Interestingly, husbands whose wives might put to bed were also given a......
‘paternity leave’, but it would only be for just three weeks.
The paternity leave was meant to give such husbands the opportunity to support their nursing wives, according to the state government.
Before, female workers who gave birth were entitled to three months maternity leave while the men whose wives delivered babies were not exempted from work.
Similarly, the state government also resolved that henceforth, nursing mothers were free to breast-feed their babies in offices during work hours.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Sam Ngwu, who disclosed these in Enugu on Wednesday, said the new policy would strengthen the family as a social unit and also promote mother and child welfare.
