The Federal Government has extended the public holiday for the Eid-El-Fitr celebration to Thursday.
Recall that last week the Federal Government announced a two-day public holiday(ie Tuesday and Wednesday) for the festivities.
However, the crescent was not sighted in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, meaning the Eid celebration will take place on Wednesday, prompting the Federal Government to add an extra day to the already-declared public holiday.

According to an early Tuesday statement by the Ministry of Interior Permanent Secretary Aishetu Gogo Ndayako, “The Federal Government has approved Thursday 11th April 2024 as an additional public holiday to celebrate this year’s Eid-El-Fitr.
“The Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji Ojo while congratulating the Muslim Ummah for a successful completion of a month of spiritual rejuvenation reiterates Tinubu’s firm commitment to providing a safe and prosperous Nigeria for all to thrive.”
