The federal government has declared August 12 and August 13 as public holidays to mark the 2019 Eid-El-Kabir celebrations.

Mohammed Manga, director of press and public relations, Ministry of Interior, in a statement on Tuesday, August 6, in Abuja, said the permanent secretary of the ministry, Georgina Ehuriah, made the declarations.

Ehuriah reaffirmed the determination of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians.
