The Federal Government has approved Thursday 11th April, 2024 as an additional public holiday to celebrate this year’s Eid -El-Fitr, a press statement signed by Dr Aishetu Gogo Ndayako,
Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, has announced.
“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 statement added.
It would be recalled that the Federal Government had earlier declared Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th April as public holiday for the Eid El-Fitr celebration before adding Thursday.
No reason was given for the addition but it might not be unconnected with not sighting the moon on Monday.
