Onasanya stated that the work-free day aimed to ensure active participation in the electoral process, by allowing citizens to exercise their civic duties without hindrance.

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.
