In a recent announcement, the Federal Government has declared Thursday, April 11, 2024, as an additional public holiday to honor Eid-el-Fitr. The statement, released by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Aishetu Ndayako, highlighted the government’s commitment to celebrating this significant occasion. Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, extended congratulations to the Muslim community for their dedication throughout the month of spiritual observance.

Earlier, the Federal Government had designated Tuesday and Wednesday, April 9 and 10, 2024, as public holidays for the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
