Ahead of Saturday’s local government elections, the Ogun State Government has approved Friday, 15 November 2024, as a work-free day.
This, according to the government, is to enable public and civil servants who desire to travel to their various Local Government Areas to perform their civic duty to do so without any hitch.
In a statement on Thursday, by the Head of Service, Mr Kehinde Onasanya said that the work-free day was in line with the principle of inclusiveness and participatory democracy of the Dapo Abiodun-led administration.
The Chairman of the state Independent Electoral Commission, Mr. Babatunde Osibodu said voting would begin by 8:00 am and end by 2:00 pm in all 5042 polling units throughout the state.
He added that there would be no vehicle movement during the polls other than that of emergency vehicles or cars on official election duties.
