Lagos State is set for a midweek break as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has officially declared Wednesday, August 20, 2025, a public (work-free) holiday in observance of Isese Day , an annual celebration of Yoruba traditional religion and culture.
The holiday announcement was formalized in a circular issued by Lagos State’s Head of Service, Huiel Bode Agoro, to all senior officials, including state commissioners, agency heads, and accounting officers.
The circular urged them to inform their respective departments of the upcoming break.
Normal work resumes on Thursday, August 21 at 8:00 a.m., as the state continues to balance modern governance with the preservation of its cultural roots.
