The Federal Government has declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays to mark the Eid-ul-Adha (Eid-el-Kabir) celebration.

This announcement was made by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement released on Monday through the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Magdalene Ajani.

The minister extended warm congratulations to Muslims in Nigeria and around the world, urging them to reflect on the values of sacrifice and faith as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon Him).

He also encouraged Muslims to use the festive period to pray for peace, unity, and prosperity in Nigeria.

Tunji-Ojo reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to people-centered reforms under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, aimed at putting Nigeria back on the path of progress and development.

He called on all Nigerians to support the administration’s efforts in building a stronger, more united, and prosperous nation.
