The Lagos State Government has said that there is no public holiday on Friday ahead of the governorship election that would hold across Nigeria.
In a statement by the State Commissioner for Information, Kehinde Bamigbetan, the government described as untrue some media reports that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode announced a work-free day.
According to the Commissioner, civil servants are expected to be at their various duty posts on Friday and disregard any information to the contrary.
Although Friday is a working day in the state, as usual, Bamigbetan explained that all public and private schools in the State are expected to proceed on the second Mid-Term Break on Thursday and Friday respectively.
The schools are, however, expected to resume academic activities on Monday, March 11 based on the revised school calendar for 2018/2019 Academic Year.
