The Federal Government has declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays to commemorate this year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebrations.
Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Minister of Interior, confirmed this in a statement made on behalf of the Federal Government on Monday.
The minister thanked all Muslims in Nigeria and the Diaspora on the occasion and urged the Ummah to uphold Prophet Ibrahim’s (Peace be upon Him) ethos of sacrifice, obedience, and faith.
Tunji-Ojo also urged Nigerians to use the Eid period to pray for the peace, unity, and prosperity of the country.
“The minister assured Nigerians that the people-orientated reforms and initiatives carried out in furtherance of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration are to restore Nigeria on the path of progress.
“While wishing the Muslim Ummah a happy Eid-ul-Adha celebration, the minister urged all Nigerians to join hands with the present administration in its efforts to restore the glory of Nigeria as a great nation,” the statement added.
