After an endless wait for bank alerts signifying payment of their September salary, civil servants in Ondo state  were told to proceed on a day public holiday to enable them participate in Saturday’s Governorship election.

The  Government which has paid backlog of salaries it inherited from its predecessor, has been finding it difficult to meet its obligations to the workers.

In a statement on Thursday, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu directed that Friday, October 9, 2020, be observed as work-free day for workers in the state public service.

“The decision comes on the heels of the Governorship Election scheduled for Saturday, October 10, 2020. It is specifically approved as such to enable workers have enough time to embark on adequate measures aimed at preparing themselves for the Election.

“Governor Akeredolu wishes all stakeholders, especially our workers in the Public Service, the best of luck as they exercise their civic responsibility.”
