The right to 14-day paternity leave for male federal civil servants has been approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
This was disclosed to State House correspondents on Wednesday, September 29, 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.
Yemi-Esan said that the paternity leave is to allow for proper bonding between the father and a newborn, either natural-born or adopted, especially at the early stages of the child’s life.
Further, she explained that fathers of adopted babies of less than four months will also be entitled to paternity leave.
