Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has declared 20th August of every year as Isese Day in the state.
The Governor gave the approval on Friday.
Recall that traditional religion adherents in the state have in the last few years demanded their own public holiday.
They have asked the state government to declare 20th August as their own public holiday in commemoration of the Isese day.
The governor has now granted the request of the traditional religion adherents by declaring Monday, August 21, 2023 as the maiden public holiday to commemorate the day.
He added that every 20th August would be observed as a public holiday in commemoration of the Isese day in the state.
