Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has declared Tuesday, July 28, 2026, a work-free day for public servants.
The governor’s directive is that the work free day is to ensure they collect their Permanent Voter Cards ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.
The directive, conveyed in a circular issued by the Head of Service, Elder Ayanleye Aina, applies to all categories of public servants, including local government workers and staff of tertiary institutions.
All these were detailed in a Monday statement signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed.
The state government said the decision was aimed at “enabling public servants to perform their civic obligations ahead of the forthcoming governorship election and future elections in the state.”
However, “workers on essential duties, including medical and security personnel, were advised to make necessary arrangements among themselves to ensure that their absence did not negatively affect members of the public,” the release noted.
