The Federal Government has declared Monday, March 31, and Tuesday, April 1, 2025, as public holidays to mark this year’s Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced the holidays in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Magdalene Ajani.
Tunji-Ojo congratulated Muslims across the country on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and urged them to uphold the values of self-discipline, compassion, generosity, and peace that the holy month teaches.
He emphasized the importance of love, forgiveness, and solidarity in fostering national unity and called on Nigerians to use the occasion to promote harmony and goodwill.
“Dr. Tunji-Ojo also encouraged citizens to celebrate safely and responsibly, while remembering the less privileged through acts of kindness and charity, in keeping with the true spirit of Ramadan and Eid,” the statement read.
The Minister extended the Federal Government’s warm wishes to all Muslim faithful, praying that the blessings of the season bring happiness, success, and fulfillment to all.
