Following the Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar, declaration that Wednesday is Eid-il-Fitri, the Federal Government has extended the public holiday for the Eid celebration to Thursday.
It said that the additional day is to allow the Muslims relax and regain their energy after the fasting before resuming to work.
The Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, disclosed this through a statement released on Tuesday and made available to newsmen by Permanent Secretary for the ministry, Dr Aishetu Ndayako.
