Nigeria – The Federal Government has extended the public holiday for the Eid-El-Fitr celebration to Thursday.
Government had earlier announced a 2-day, (Tuesday and Wednesday) holiday for the festivities.
The Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, who announced the extension of the holiday, 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.
Holiday came because, the crescent was not sighted in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, meaning the Eid celebration will take place on Wednesday.
