The Federal Government has declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays in celebration of this year’s Eid-ul-Adha.
The announcement was made on Monday by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement signed by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Magdalene Ajani.

He called on Muslims to “use the period to pray for a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria.”
The minister also reassured citizens that the people-centered reforms introduced under the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration were aimed at “restoring Nigeria on the path of progress.”
“While wishing the Muslim Ummah a happy Eid-ul-Adha celebration,” the statement added, “the Minister urged all Nigerians to join hands with the present administration in its efforts to restore the glory of Nigeria as a great nation.”
