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

The announcement was made on Monday by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement issued on behalf of the Federal Government.

Tunji-Ojo congratulated all Muslims in Nigeria and the Diaspora on the occasion and urged the Islamic faithful to reflect the values of sacrifice, obedience, and faith exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

He also encouraged Nigerians to use the festive period to offer prayers for the country’s peace, unity, and prosperity.

“The minister assured Nigerians that the people-oriented reforms and initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration are aimed at steering the country back on the path of progress,” the statement read.

While wishing the Muslim Ummah a joyful Eid celebration, Tunji-Ojo called on all citizens to support the administration’s efforts in rebuilding the nation.
