FG Declares Tuesday Public Holiday

The Federal Government has declared Tuesday October 19th, 2021 as public holiday to mark this year’s Eid-ul-Mawlid celebration.

The holiday would be in commemoration of the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, made this declaration on behalf of the Federal Government.

The Minister, in a statement by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Dr Shuaib Belgore, admonished all Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of love, patience and perseverance which are the virtues of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), adding that doing so would guarantee peace and security in the country.

“As the indisputable leader of our race, we must show responsible leadership in Africa,” he asserted.

While calling for a stop to all divisive tendencies across the country, the Minister urged all Nigerians and the youth in particular, to embrace the virtues of hard work and peaceful disposition to fellow humans, irrespective of faith, ideology.
