Eid-el-Fitr: FG approves Thursday as additional public holiday

The Federal Government has declared Thursday an additional public holiday to commemorate this year’s Eid al-Fitr.

Dr. Aishetu Gogo Ndayako, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, made a statement on Tuesday.

According to the statement:

“The Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, while congratulating the muslim Ummah for a successful completion of a month of spiritual rejuvenation, reiterates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (GCFR) firm commitment to providing a safe and prosperous Nigeria for all to thrive.”

The government had earlier declared Tuesday and Wednesday as Eid-El-Fitr celebrations, but the crescent moon could not be seen on Monday, leading the vacations to be extended.
