The Federal Government has officially declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays in observance of this year’s Eid al-Adha celebration.
Eid al-Adha, also known as Eid-el-Kabir in Nigeria, is one of the most significant Islamic festivals, commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command. The festival is marked by special prayers, the slaughtering of sacrificial animals, and communal feasting. It is a time for Muslims to engage in acts of charity, share meals with family and friends, and reflect on the values of sacrifice and devotion.
The announcement of the public holidays allows Muslims across the country to partake fully in the religious observances and festivities associated with Eid al-Adha. It also provides an opportunity for all Nigerians to engage in communal activities and foster national unity.
Employers and institutions are advised to take note of these dates and make necessary arrangements to accommodate the public holidays.
