The Nigerian Federal Government has declared an extension to the Eid-El-Fitr holiday to Thursday, April 11th, 2024. This is in addition to the previously declared holidays on the 9th and 10th of April, marking the end of the Ramadan period. Dr Aishetu Gogo Ndayako, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, made the announcement in a statement on Tuesday.
The Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, extended congratulations to the Muslim Ummah for the successful completion of a month of spiritual rejuvenation. He also reiterated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s (GCFR) commitment to providing a safe and prosperous Nigeria for all to thrive.
It should be noted that the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Saa’d Abubakar, announced on Monday that the 2024 Eid-El-Fitr celebration would be held on Wednesday, April 10th, 2024, following the non-sighting of the moon across the world to signal the end of Ramadan.
