The Federal Government has declared Wednesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 28 as public holidays to mark this year’s Eid ul Adha celebration, one of the most significant festivals in the Islamic calendar.
The announcement was made on Monday by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement issued by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Magdalene Ajani.
The declaration comes as millions of Muslims across Nigeria and around the world prepare to commemorate the festival, also known as Eid-el-Kabir, which symbolizes sacrifice, obedience to God and compassion for humanity.
