The Federal Government has declared Wednesday and Thursday as public holidays to mark this year’s Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
Mr Rauf
Aregbesola, who is the Minister of Interior, made the declaration today in
Abuja on behalf of the government.
He
congratulated the Muslim faithful on the occasion and called on all Nigerians –
at home and abroad – to use the period of the celebration to pray for peace,
stability, and economic transformation in the land.
The minister believes that development cannot thrive in a rancorous atmosphere and urged all Nigerians to be law-abiding and embrace the spirit of love, self-discipline, kindness, and tolerance, as taught by the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him).
