Eid-El-Fitr Celebration: Thursday Approved As Extra Holiday

The extension of the public holiday for the Eid-El-Fitr celebration to Thursday, April 11, 2024, has been approved by President Bola Tinubu.

It would be recalled that the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, had announced Tuesday and Wednesday as public holidays for the festivities.

But, the crescent was not sighted in Saudi Arabia through Monday, meaning the Eid celebration will take place on Wednesday, making the FGN add an extra day to the already-declared public holiday.

“The Federal Government has approved Thursday 11th April 2024 as an additional public holiday to celebrate this year’s Eid-El-Fitr. 

“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 GCFR’s firm commitment to providing a safe and prosperous Nigeria for all to thrive,” the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Aishetu Gogo Ndayako said in an early Tuesday statement.
