The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Godwin Obaseki, Mr. John Mayaki, said this in a statement he issued on Wednesday in Benin.

He said the holiday was to enable the Edo people of the state mourn and pay their last respect to the elder statesman.

According to him, pupils and students are expected to queue up in their uniforms at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium by 9 am on Friday for the state burial ceremony for the deceased.
