The Babajide Sanwo-Olu led Lagos State Government has declared four work-free days for public servants to collect their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) before the January 29 deadline.
This was disclosed in a circular signed by the State Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, yesterday.
He said State Gov Sanwo-Olu approved work-free days for public servants according to their grade levels from January 24 to 27.
“To this end, Mr Governor has graciously approved some work-free days to enable public servants to collect their Permanent Voters Cards from their respective local governments/local council development areas,” the circular partly read.
According to him, the dates include January 24, 2023, for grade levels 01, 03, 07, and 15; Wednesday, January 25, 2023, for grade levels 02, 04, 08, and 13; Thursday, January 26, 2023, for grade levels 05, 09, 12, and 17; and Friday, January 27, 2023, for grade levels 06, 10, 14 and 16.
Accounting officers and public servants were therefore urged to ensure compliance in preparation for the forthcoming election.
