The Federal Government has declared Monday and Tuesday next week public holidays to commemorate Eid el-Fitr (sallah) celebration.
Interior Minister Patrick Abba Moro made the declaration in a statement yesterday in Abuja by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mrs. A. M. Daniel Nwaobia.
Moro called on Nigerians to emulate the exemplary attributes of Islam which are love, tolerance and peaceful co-existence amongst the people.
He urged all Nigerians irrespective of their religious beliefs to use the occasion of the celebration for sober reflection and pray for the peace, unity and progress of the nation in its march to nationhood.
