The announcement was made on Monday in a statement issued by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. According to the statement, the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo extended his congratulations to all Muslim faithful in Nigeria and across the world on the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha. He urged the Muslim Ummah to continue to uphold the values of sacrifice, obedience, and faith as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon Him).
The minister also called on Nigerians to use the festive period to offer prayers for a peaceful and prosperous nation, emphasizing the importance of unity and national cohesion.

“While wishing the Muslim Ummah a happy Eid-ul-Adha celebration, the minister urged all Nigerians to join hands with the present administration in its efforts to restore the glory of Nigeria as a great nation,” the statement added.
Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is one of the most important holidays in the Islamic calendar, commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command.
