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