The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the right to 14-day paternity leave for male Federal civil servants to allow them to bond with their infants.

This was disclosed to State House Correspondents on Wednesday by the Head of Service of the Federation, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, after the week’s virtual FEC meeting presided over by Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

She said this is to enable for proper bonding between the father and a newborn, either 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.

its not enough ooh, we need at least a month. running around for mother and baby is not easy

Wow!! That's commendable. Nigerian fathers are superb! They are the ones who will leave office for the maternity ward to stand by their wives in labour and sleep there to go home, freshen up and return to work to get back home and immediately start preparing for the naming ceremony due in 7 days from the day the baby/babies arrived.

With a heart full with gratitude, you officially become the full time errands boy in the house o and keep receiving instructions to buy this and buy that on your way home for at least 6 months! This is the joy of fatherhood you will miss if you decide to be a dead beat father or baby daddy.

Thumbs up to all the amazing and loving new Dads out there.
You just got a breather!
Thank you FG.
May God bless Nigeria.

If this is what is prioritized and discussed at a Federal Executive Council meeting, then it's no surprise the country is the way it is, rudderless !

How does this solve the crisis at hand, economy, health, security, education are all in shambles and this jokers are deliberating on pattern leave.

Congratulations to the responsible fathers to be

Men need economy to work to take care of their families more than they need paternity leave.

This means in the a Northern male civil servant with four wives would go on paternity leave every year or in some case cases two times in a year.

Well, I think it's fair than before...even though it is still short.

I don’t think this is necessary.

Not a bad idea if your ask me

What for exactly, can those men lock their shop for two weeks coz their wife delivered a baby. Nonsense and Buhari

Nice move.

But just 14 days? That's too small.

I've been reading how this country Is a 3rd world country , truthfully we're a third world , underdeveloped country.
