Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has declared Thursday 16 and Friday 17 August 2018 public holiday to ensure public servants in the state participate fully in the ongoing voters registration exercise.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports this was disclosed in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Festus Agas.
According to the statement, the declaration is informed by the fact that the ongoing voters registration exercise will terminate Friday 17th August 2018.
“It is expected that public officers who have not registered before now will take advantage of the work free days to do so and ensure that they are not disenfranchised.
“Similarly, officers that are yet to collect their permanent voters card should take advantage of the period to do so and conclude the important aspect of our political process,” the statement read.
