Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has declared August 20 a work-free day to mark 2024 Isese Day.
The governor’s Special Adviser (Media), Sulaimon Olanrewaju, in a statement issued on Wednesday, said the declaration of the work-free day by Makinde was contained in a circular issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof Olanike Adeyemo.
Makinde had stated last year that every August 20 would be observed as a work-free day in the state in commemoration of Isese Day.
The governor, in the circular, enjoined all traditional worshippers and all citizens to use the day to pray for the peace, unity and stability of the state in particular and the country in general.
