The Federal Government has declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays to mark this year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebration.
This was made known in a statement issued on Monday by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on behalf of the Federal Government.
Tunji-Ojo congratulated the Muslim faithful both in Nigeria and in the Diaspora, urging them to emulate the virtues of sacrifice, obedience, and faith as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
The minister also called on Nigerians to use the festive period to offer prayers for peace, unity, and prosperity in the country.
He said, “The people-oriented reforms and initiatives carried out in furtherance of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration are designed to restore Nigeria on the path of progress.”
While wishing Muslims a joyous Eid-ul-Adha celebration, the minister appealed to citizens to support the current administration in its efforts to reposition the nation for greatness.
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the two major Islamic festivals celebrated worldwide, commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s unwavering faith and willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command.
