The Federal Government has declared Friday work-free day.
It did this towards preparation for Saturday’s presidential election.
The Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, announced the holiday on Wednesday through his Twitter handle.
Dambazau, however, said bankers and those offering essential services were excluded from the declaration.
His tweets read, “Federal Government declares Friday 22, February 2019 as work-free day. Those providing essential duties and bankers are excluded.
“The work-free day is to enable to citizens return to their polling units for the reschedule Presidential and National Assembly elections.
“Security agencies have been directed to ensure safety of lives and property before, during and after the general election.”
