The Federal government has declared two days, Wednesday, June 28 and Thursday, June 29, 2023, as public holidays for this year’s Eid-El-Kabir.
A statement signed by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Interior, Ms Oluwatoyin Akinlade, said Muslims and all Nigerians were charged by the government to make sacrifices for the growth and development of the country.
While felicitating with the Muslim Ummah at home and in the diaspora,” the government expressed hope that “the prayers and sacrifices that come with this great celebration, as well as the message of Eid-ei-Kabir, will bring about peace, unity and progress in Nigeria.”
The statement charged the citizens to continue to pray for the nation, advising them to be at peace with one another.
