The Ondo State Government has declared Fridays 24th of February and the 10th of March, 2023 as work-free days for public servants in the state.
This was contained in a circular issued from the office of the state Head of Service, Pastor Kayode Ogundele, who said the
work-free days to allow the workers to travel to the various places they registered to cast their votes in the Presidential/National Assembly and the State House of Assembly elections respectively.
Ogundele said the transportation challenges occasioned by the current realities in the country necessitated the change of holiday from half day to full work-free days.
Ogundele, therefore, enjoined public servants to make good use of the period to exercise their franchise by voting for candidates of their choice and putting into consideration, the strategic interest of Ondo State.
