The Federal Government has declared Friday, June 6 and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays to commemorate this year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebration.
The announcement was made by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement issued by Dr. Magdalene Ajani, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, on Monday in Abuja.
Tunji-Ojo extended his congratulations to all Muslim faithful both in Nigeria and across the world. He urged them to uphold the values of sacrifice and faith as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon Him) and to use the festive period to pray for peace and prosperity in Nigeria.
The Minister emphasized that ongoing reforms and people-centered initiatives under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda are aimed at returning the country to a path of sustainable progress.
While wishing the Muslim Ummah a joyous Eid-ul-Adha celebration, Tunji-Ojo called on all Nigerians to support the government’s efforts to restore the nation’s glory and build a united and prosperous country.
