Ahead of the July 16 governorship election, the Osun state government has declared Friday, June 24, 2022 work-free day to enable civil servants in the state who are yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) do so.
The government said in a statement on Thursday, that the development was to enable all public and civil servants pick their PVC to be able to perform their franchise in the gubernatorial election.
The statement which was signed by Secretary to the State Government, Prince Wole Oyebamiji, on Osun PVC collection, read: “The Government of Osun State acknowledges the importance of workers in the democratic process, and is aware that the only way workers can give life to their aspiration for a worker-friendly government is through their votes.
“The government does not want anyone to miss out on the opportunity to exercise their constitutional right, especially as it affects their overall wellbeing and the security of their future.”
