The Federal Government has declared Friday, March 29, and Monday, April 1, 2024, as public holidays to mark the celebrations of 2024 Good Friday and Easter Monday.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made this known in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Aishetu Ndayako.

The minister called on Christians to imbibe the values of love, forgiveness, and compassion, which are essential for social cohesion and harmony.

These virtues, as embodied by the season, are capable of impacting positively on the socio-economic development of Nigeria by fostering unity, reducing conflicts, and encouraging cooperation.

Ojo wished Nigerians a happy and blissful Easter celebration, calling on Nigerians to support the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
