The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation has announced the closure of access roads around the Federal Secretariat Complex in Abuja ahead of the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The roads will be shut from Friday, March 27 to Saturday, March 28, 2026, due to the use of Eagle Square as the venue for the convention.
Civil servants working within Phases I, II, and III of the Federal Secretariat Complex, as well as those at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been directed to work remotely on Friday, March 27.
The directive was conveyed in a circular issued on Thursday to permanent secretaries, heads of agencies, and parastatals operating within the affected areas.
According to the circular, the road closure is necessary because Eagle Square, the venue for the APC convention, is located close to the Federal Secretariat Complex.
“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 Friday, March 27 to Saturday, March 28, 2026,” the circular stated.
It added that personnel in the affected offices should work from home on Friday to ease movement restrictions.
The circular, signed by Dr. Abdul S. U. Garba, Permanent Secretary, Service Welfare Office, urged heads of ministries, departments, and agencies to inform their staff and ensure compliance.
