COVID-19: UNIBEN Staff Resume Work After 6 Months Working From Home

“It is designed to function in a dual mode for adults and children. I am happy to be back in office. As you can see, we are all on facemasks and observing social distancing”.
Lucky Olabisi, another staff said the university provided hand sanitisers, soap and buckets of water in offices in compliance with the Federal Government’s directives.
“We are all happy to see our colleagues after a long holiday. The COVID-19 and protest affected our jobs making us less productive”.
