With the rising cases of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the country, Nigeria’s leading PR firm and 2019 LaPriga ‘PR Agency of the Year’, Mediacraft Associates, has directed all members of its staff to begin working remotely, effective Monday, March 23, 2020.
The directive means that members of staff will now work from home for the next 14 days. However, the order will be reviewed at the end of the two-week period.
A press statement dated March 23, 2020, and signed by the agency’s CEO, John Ehiguese, reads: “This directive has become imperative in view of the unfolding global situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which is spreading rapidly and taking a heavy toll on human lives and businesses. We will explore every available means to ensure that our clients continue to be adequately serviced during this period, and our staff will be appropriately equipped and mobilised to do so.”
The firm’s management has said that updates will be duly communicated to all stakeholders accordingly.“We urge everyone to do everything they can to stay safe during the trying period,” the statement concluded.
