Public Holiday
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Katsina State Government has announced that Friday, April 12, 2024, will be a non-working day in the state so workers can enjoy the Eid-El-Fitr festivities.
This Nigeria news platform understands that Governor Dikko Radda stated that this decision was made to allow workers in the state to fully partake in the Sallah celebrations with their loved ones.
The additional holiday in Katsina is coming despite the Federal Government’s extension of the Eid-El-Fitr public holidays to Thursday, April 11, of the same month.
The federal government had earlier declared Tuesday and Wednesday only public holidays for the celebration of Sallah.
Thursday, however, was subsequently added to the break following a confirmation that Eid-el-fitr would not happen on Tuesday but Wednesday.
In a separate announcement on Tuesday, the Katsina State Commissioner of Information and Culture, Bala Zango, confirmed the Friday additional holiday, relaying the governor’s well wishes for a joyous and peaceful Sallah celebration to the people of the state.
He also encouraged the citizens to prioritize security and pray for peace to prevail in the state and the entire nation during this year’s Eid-El-Fitr festivities.
The statement reads: KATSINA STATE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE PRESS RELEASE
