Less than 40 days to the 2023 general elections, the Lagos State Government has declared a four-day work-free day for public servants to enable them to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
NEWSBREAK reports that the Head of Service (HoS), Hakeem Muri-Okunola, who confirmed the development in a circular issued on Wednesday, said the work-free day would commence on Tuesday, January 24, and end on Friday, January 27, 2023, for different grade levels of workers in the public service.
“Consequent upon the extension of the collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards by the Independent National Electoral Commission, it is hereby notified for the general information that all public servants who are yet to collect their Permanent Voters’ Cards from designated INEC Centers are encouraged to do so before Sunday, January 29, 2023, as it is a civic responsibility to vote.
“To this end, Mr Governor (Babajide Sanwo-Olu) has graciously approved a work-free day to enable public servants to collect their PVCs from their respective local government/local council development areas,” Muri-Okunola said.
