work-free days to allow the workers to travel to the various places they registered to cast their votes in the Presidential/National Assembly and the State House of Assembly elections respectively.

Ogundele said the transportation challenges occasioned by the current realities in the country necessitated the change of holiday from half day to full work-free days.
