The Federal Government has declared Wednesday, June 28, and Thursday, June 29 as Eid-El-Kabir holidays.
This was announced in a statement on Monday by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Oluwatoyin Akinlade.
Akinlade urged Nigerians to make sacrifices for the development of the country as done by Prophet Ibraheem.
The statement partly read, “In the spirit of this special occasion, during which we commemorate the great virtues of obedience, sacrifice, and faith as exemplified by Prophet Ibraheem (Peace of Allah be upon him), Muslims, and indeed all Nigerians are enjoined to make sacrifices for the growth and development of our communities and our great country, Nigeria.
“We are hopeful that the prayers and sacrifices that come with this great celebration, as well as the message of Eid-ei-Kabir will bring about peace, unity, and progress in Nigeria.”
