The Oyo State Government has declared August 20 a work-free day, to mark the 2024 Isese Day.
In a release issued on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, the Special Adviser on Media to the Oyo State governor, Dr Sulaimon Olanrewaju, said the declaration of the work-free day was contained in a circular issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Olanike Adeyemo.
Governor Seyi Makinde stated last year that every August 20 would be observed as a work-free day in the state, in commemoration of Isese Day.
