Ogun LG election: Abiodun declares Friday public holiday

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has declared Friday, November 15, 2024, as a public holiday for all civil servants in the state, ahead of Saturday’s local government election.

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.

The election is expected to take place across the 20 Local Government Areas and 237 wards in Ogun State.

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.
