The Anambra government has declared Friday a work-free day for civil servants ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
This is contained in a statement by Mrs Theodora Igwegbe, the Head of Service (HOS), on Thursday in Awka.
Igwegbe said that the work-free day was approved by Gov. Chukwuma Soludo to enable civil servants to travel to their respective locations to participate in 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.
