Monda And Tuesday Declared Public Holidays To Celebrates Eid-el-Kabir – Federal Government
The Federal Government has declared Monday and Tuesday as public holidays to mark this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration. This is contained in a statement issued by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, on Thursday in Abuja.
Belgore said the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, congratulated all Muslims and Nigerians both at home and in the Diaspora on the occasion.
“I call on Muslims to continue to imbibe the spirit of love, peace, kindness and sacrifice, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).
“We should also use the period to pray for peace, unity, prosperity, and the stability of the country, considering the challenges of insecurity we face at the moment,” Aregbesola said.
Aregbesola, while wishing Muslims a happy Eid-el Kabir celebration, urged Nigerians to take responsibility by reporting any suspicious individuals and criminal activities they observed around them to law enforcement agencies.
He also enjoined all Nigerians to be vigilant and observant of intruders in their communities.
