To mark the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, the Federal Government has declared Wednesday and Thursday as nationwide public holidays.
The Minister of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola made the announcement in Abuja on Monday on behalf of the Federal Government.
He congratulated the Muslim faithful on the occasion and called on all Nigerians – at home and abroad – to use the period of the celebration to pray for peace, stability, and economic transformation in the land.
The minister believes that development cannot thrive in a rancorous atmosphere and urged all Nigerians to be law-abiding and embrace the spirit of love, self-discipline, kindness, and tolerance, as taught by the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him).
