This was contained in a circular signed by the Ogun State Head of Service (HoS), Kehinde Onasanya, on Thursday, November 14.
Onasanya noted that Abiodun approved the work-free day to enable civil servants to participate fully in Saturday’s local government election in the state.

This decision, the HoS said, demonstrates Abiodun’s commitment to promoting democratic participation and civic engagement in the state.
“This decision aligns with Governor Abiodun’s efforts to prioritise the welfare and participation of citizens in the democratic processes,” he added.
