In commemoration of the 2024 World Teachers Day, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has declared Monday, October 7, 2024, as a work-free day for all teachers in public and private schools.

Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, indicated that the holiday is to identify with teachers and celebrate their invaluable contributions to the growth of the education sector in Osun, Nigeria, and the world at large.

“While it gladdens my heart and that of my administration to declare tomorrow (Monday) as public holiday throughout Osun state, I admonish all teachers to use the one-day public holiday as a means to cast a look at the past, present, and future development of the state in the education sector,” Adeleke said.

“I am using this opportunity for the umpteenth time to assure you that my administration will continue to do everything morally and officially possible to put smiles on your faces in order to make you happy and fulfilled as purveyors of knowledge in this dear state of ours, Osun.

“Please accept my best wishes and congratulations on the occasion of the World Teachers Day. Happy celebrations.”
