The Federal Government has officially declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays in observance of this year’s Eid-ul-Adha festivities.
In a statement released Monday in Abuja, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, stated that the declaration was made by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on behalf of the Federal Government.
The minister extended congratulations to Muslims both within Nigeria and abroad on this special occasion.
He urged the Muslim community to uphold the spirit of sacrifice and faith exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon Him) and encouraged them to use the holiday to pray for peace and prosperity in Nigeria.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo also reassured Nigerians that the people-focused reforms and initiatives under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda aim to put the country back on a path of progress.
While wishing the Muslim Ummah a joyful Eid-ul-Adha, the minister called on all Nigerians to support the current administration in its mission to restore Nigeria’s greatness.
