In recognition of the 2023 Isese Day celebration, which will take place on Sunday, August 20, the Lagos State Government has proclaimed Monday, August 21, as a work-free day for all public personnel in the state.
This is included in an August 18 circular acquired by The PUNCH on Saturday.
The circular, issued by the Lagos State Head of Service, Mr. Hakeem Muri-Okunola, said that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu declared Monday a work-free day for public personnel “with a view to promoting our indigenous culture and tradition while preserving our heritage.”
“In restating its commitment to continue to provide the necessary support to traditional institutions in the state with a view to promoting our indigenous culture and tradition while preserving our heritage, Mr. Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has graciously declared Monday, 21st August 2023, a work-free day for public servants in the state. Work will, therefore, resume on Tuesday, 22nd August at 8 am prompt,” the circular partly read.
