The Federal Government of Nigeria has declared Monday, May 2 and Tuesday May 3 as public holidays to mark this year’s Workers Day and Eld-el-Fitr celebrations.
The Minister of Interior, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, disclosed this in a statement by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Belgore, on Thursday.
While congratulating all Muslims on the successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan, Aregbesola called on all Muslims to imbibe and practice the virtues of kindness, love, tolerance, peace, self-denial, sacrifice, and good neighbourliness, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
“The self-restraint, self-denial, sacrifice and deep spiritual consciousness that accompanied the fasting period should not end but be maintained and improved upon, in order to be a better person and true worshipper,” he said.
