Mr Donald Ojogo, Commissioner for Information and Orientation, in a statement on Thursday in Akure said the decision was became necessary in view of the fact that some people will have to travel to their home towns for the election.
Ondo State
Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has directed that Friday, Oct. 9, be observed as
a work-free day for state workers to enable preparations for the election on
Saturday.
According to
Ojogo, Friday is specifically approved as such to enable workers to have enough
time to embark on adequate measures aimed at preparing themselves for the
election.
“This
includes necessary trips by workers to areas where they are registered to cast
their votes.
“Eligible
voters are advised to be law abiding throughout the period of the exercise.
“They are
equally encouraged to take maximum advantage of the adequate security measures
already put in place to exercise their voting rights without any fear of
harassment, intimidation and molestation.
“Governor
Akeredolu wishes all stakeholders, especially our workers in the public
service, the best of luck as they exercise their civic responsibility,” the
commissioner said.
