The Federal Government has declared Wednesday, 27, and Thursday, May, 28, 2026, as public holidays to mark the celebration of Eid-el-Kabir across Nigeria.
The announcement was made by the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, via a statement issued on Monday, May 25.
Tunji-Ojo said the declaration affirms the federal government’s respect for the faith and spiritual heritage of millions of Nigerian Muslims who join the global Islamic community in observing this sacred occasion.
The minister felicitated with all Muslim faithful in Nigeria and throughout the Diaspora, saying Eid-el-Kabir is a festival of deep spiritual significance, grounded in the values of sacrifice, obedience to God, and compassion for one’s fellow man.

“It is in the spirit of brotherhood, shared humanity, and national unity that the Federal Government wishes all Muslims a peaceful, blessed, and joyous celebration,” he added.
