The lawmakers stressed the importance of dedicating a day for adherents of traditional religion to celebrate as it is for Christians and Muslims across the country.

The lawmaker also noted that some states in the Southwest region had already done so, stressing the need to respect the beliefs of traditional religious worshippers.

The State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, had promised to sign the bill into law once passed by the state House of Assembly.
