Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has declared next Monday and Tuesday as public holidays to enable civil servants to participate in the ongoing voters registration exercise.

Obiano, who made the announcement as part of the Workers’ Day celebration in Awka, said the move was to prepare prospective voters ahead of the November governorship election in the state.

He also advised those who registered before but without their names captured on the voters register to complete the process.

Obiano equally urged those that never registered before to take advantage of the work-free days to get the voters card.  

The governor also asked those who relocated from other parts of the country to Anambra to visit INEC officers nearest to them in order to transfer their details.

While assuring a free, fair and credible poll, Obiano urged the civil servants to encourage those who just turned 18 to register.
