Eid-El-Fitr: FG Extends Public Holiday To Thursday

The Eid-El-Fitr celebration's public holiday has been extended by the Federal Government to Thursday, April 11th, 2024.

Originally, a two-day holiday was declared for Tuesday and Wednesday, but with the crescent moon not sighted in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, prompting the Eid celebration to be moved to Wednesday, an extra day was added to the holiday.

A statement from the Ministry of Interior Permanent Secretary, Aishetu Gogo Ndayako, announced the additional public holiday. The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, emphasized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's commitment to ensuring a safe and prosperous Nigeria. The declaration of Wednesday, April 10th, as Eid-Fitri day came from the Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, following reports from the National Moon Sighting Committees across the country confirming the moon had not been sighted.

Wishing blessings and guidance, the Sultan urged the Muslim Ummah to continue praying for peace, progress, and development in Nigeria.

Muslims in Kano, Katsina Others defy NCDC Protocol; Trooped Out For Eid Prayers

Muslims in Kano, Katsina, Borno, Zamfara and Bauchi states yesterday trooped out in large numbers to observe the Eid prayers in their different localities.

This was contrary to the directive of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji SA’AD ABUBAKAR, and the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, which directed that there should be no large gatherings at Eid prayers.

It was observed that there were massive gatherings with the majority of the faithful not observing the PTF’s protocols such as social distancing and wearing of face masks.

Sokoto state Governor AMINU WAZIRI TAMBUWAL after the eid prayers urged residents to pray for sustained peace in the country.

Recall that states, including Kano, Katsina, Borno and Yobe, last week relaxed the Federal Government’s lockdown and allowed religious organisations to hold their congregational activities.
