The Federal Government has declared Wednesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 28, 2026, as public holidays to mark the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced this in a statement issued on Monday by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Magdalene Ajani.

According to the statement, the declaration reflects the Federal Government’s respect for the faith and spiritual heritage of millions of Nigerian Muslims observing the festival alongside the global Islamic community.

Tunji-Ojo congratulated Muslim faithful in Nigeria and the diaspora on the occasion, describing Eid-ul-Adha as a festival of deep spiritual significance rooted in sacrifice, obedience to God and compassion for humanity.

The minister urged Nigerians to use the holiday period for prayers and reflection for the peace, security and prosperity of the country.

“The Federal Government urges all Nigerians to use this period for prayer and sober reflection, asking for divine guidance upon the country as it continues its pursuit of peace, security, and prosperity for every citizen,” the statement read.

He also called on citizens to embrace the spirit of brotherhood, unity and peaceful coexistence during the celebration.

The Federal Government wished Muslims across the country a peaceful, blessed and joyous Eid-ul-Adha celebration.
