By SEGUN GIWA
The Ondo State Government has declared Thursday, Feb. 22 and Friday, Feb. 23 as public holidays in honour of the late former Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Ebenezer Adeniyan, on Tuesday in Akure.
Adeniran said the two-day holiday will allow people of the state to honour the late former governor with several programmes billed for both days.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Akeredolu died in Germany on Dec. 27, 2023 and would be buried on Friday in Owo, his hometown, according to the programme released by the family.
“The two work-free days will allow the people of the state to participate in the burial activities of the former governor,” the statement said. (NAN)
