Federal government has declared May 2 and 3 as public holidays to commemorate Workers’ Day and Eid-Al-Fitr, respectively.
The development was announced by Rauf Aregbesola, Minister of Interior, in a statement issued on Thursday by Shuaib Belgore, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry.
Aregbesola praised workers around the country for their “hard work, diligence, and sacrifice,” according to the statement.
For the occasion of the upcoming Eid-Al-Fitr festival, the minister congratulated Muslims on finishing the 30 days fasting in the month of Ramadan.
“The self-restraint, self-denial, sacrifice and deep spiritual consciousness that accompanied the fasting period should not end but be maintained and improved upon, in order to be a better person and true worshipper,” he said.
