The Ekiti State Government has declared March 8 as work free day to celebrate the 2017 International Women’s Day in the state.

The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Idowu Adelusi, told journalists in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday that Governor Ayo Fayose gave the approval to allow full participation of women in the event.

According to him, the holiday will also afford men wishing to identify with the womenfolk the opportunity to do so without hindrance.

He said that the state government would sponsor the event, to enable women to showcase their potential and have a sense of belonging in the society.

Adelusi further explained that the governor would use the occasion to roll out action plans and largesse for all adult women in the state, irrespective of their political affiliations.

The Chairman of the Publicity Sub-Committee of the event, Oluwayomi Osuntokun, said the event was being organised to celebrate and empower women in the state.
