Felicia Dairo was an education instructor at a mission school in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, when she had her first child.
The maternity policy of the school was one of the reasons Mrs Dairo quit the job.
“Prior to delivery, we were told that pregnant workers were entitled to six weeks of maternity leave before delivery and six weeks after. I questioned the process and asked if we could move the six weeks before to after delivery, to make a straight three-month maternity leave,” Mrs Dairo told PREMIUM TIMES.
