Osun Declares Friday Public Holiday

In honor of this year’s Isese Day, the Osun State Government has proclaimed Friday a work-free day, despite the fact that the celebration would be low-key.

The celebration would be low-key because to the increasing cases of COVID-19, according to a statement signed by Osun state Commissioner for Home Affairs, Alhaji Tajudeen Lawal, on Wednesday.

Lawal congratulated the state’s traditional worshippers on the occasion of Isese Day this year, and urged them to be peaceful and law-abiding before, during, and after the event.

He also urged them to support the Oyetola administration and emphasized the importance of citizens adhering to the Omoluabi ethos.

The statement read in parts, “On the part of the “Isese Day” participants, we urged
them to observe the COVID-19 Protocols especially the use of nose mask, social/physical distancing among other safety protocols before, during and after this year’s celebration.”
