Public Holidays
NewsOnline Nigeria understands that Public holidays in Nigeria are more than just reminders of historical events and occasions to celebrate; they provide Nigerians with valuable opportunities to decompress and rejuvenate, stepping away from work demands.
This Nigeria news platform has compiled a list of the two public holidays scheduled by the federal government for April 2024, assisting you in planning ahead effectively.
Traditionally, the federal government, through the Ministry of Interior, usually declares two days as the public holiday to mark the Easter celebration. The two days cover Good Friday and Easter Monday.
Good Friday is a Christian holiday to mark the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death on Calvary. Easter is also a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It takes place three days after Jesus’s death on Good Friday.
For this year, Good Friday falls on Friday, March 29. Meanwhile, Easter Monday for 2024 will be marked on Monday, April 1.
Eid-el-Fitr holiday is celebrated by Muslims and commemorates the end of the holy month of Ramadan, in which Muslims fast daily from before dawn until sunset.
2024’s Eid-el-Fitr is estimated to be marked on Wednesday, April 10.
Note, however, that it is the sighting of the moon that will determine whether or not that day will be Eid day.
April 11 could also be the Eid day.
