GOVERNOR Bala A. Mohammed has declared Monday, 27th June, 2022, as a state-wide Public Holiday.
The holiday is to enable citizens of the State who have attained the age of 18 years after the 2019 General Elections or lost their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) or even changed their locations to take advantage of the on -going INEC Continuous Voters Registration Exercise and obtain their Permanent Voters Card (PVCs).
