Gov. Soludo declares Friday work-free ahead of guber poll
The Anambra State government has declared Friday a work-free day for civil servants ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
This is contained in a statement by Theodora Igwegbe, the head of service (HoS), on Thursday in Awka.
Ms Igwegbe said Governor Charles Soludo approved the work-free day to enable civil servants to travel to their respective locations for the election.
She said the gesture was to encourage the active participation of the state workforce in the electoral process.
According to her, the electoral process is a civic duty and a vital contribution of the civil servants to good governance and democracy.
The HoS directed all political appointees, permanent secretaries, and heads of ministries, departments, and agencies to inform their staff and ensure full compliance.
