The Federal Government has announced Thursday as an additional day for the Eid-El-Fitr holidays.
Last week, it declared a two-day holiday – Tuesday and Wednesday – for the festivities.However, the crescent was not sighted in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, meaning the Eid celebration will take place on Wednesday.
This prompted the Federal Government to add an extra day to the already-declared public holiday in a statement issued by the Federal Ministry of Interior.
The statement read “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’s (GCFR) firm commitment to providing a safe and prosperous Nigeria for all to thrive”.
