The Ogun State House of Assembly has declared August 20 as Isese Cultural Day.
The lawmakers declared this day a non-working day dedicated to celebrating Yoruba tradition and culture within the state in a resolution passed on Tuesday.
The resolution was approved by all during a plenary session chaired by Speaker Olakunle Oluomo, following the lawmakers’ return from a two-week recess.
The majority leader of the house, Yusuf Sheriff, moved the motion, which the minority leader, Lukmon Adeleye, seconded.
Most of the lawmakers during the debate on the motion agreed that the resolution was aimed at promoting the culture and tradition of the state towards preserving them for the coming generations.
The Speaker commended the lawmakers for their contributions to the resolution’s passage.
Oluomo emphasised that the annual Isese Cultural Day “would give proper identity to the cultural values of the people.”
He added that the declaration of the public holiday remained the “exclusive responsibility of the federal government; thus the proposed work-free day.
