Osun announces June 24th as work-free day for PVC collection

Three weeks before the Osun gubernatorial election, the state government announced Friday, June 24, a work-free day to allow civil servants who have not gotten their Permanent Voter Cards to do so.

The government said in a statement on Thursday, that the development was to enable all public and civil servants to pick their PVC to be able to perform their franchise in the July 16 governorship poll.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Prince Wole Oyebamiji.

The statement read in part: “The Government of Osun State acknowledges the importance of workers in the democratic process, and is aware that the only way workers can give life to their aspiration for a worker-friendly government is through their votes.
