FG declares another public holiday

The federal government has declared Monday October 10, 2022 as a public holiday.

The holiday is in commemoration of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad.

Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who made this declaration on behalf of the federal government, congratulated all Muslims both at home and in the Diaspora for witnessing this year’s occasion.

“Ogbeni Aregbesola enjoins Nigerians, particularly Muslims, to refrain from violence, lawlessness and other acts of criminality.

“As the indisputable leader of our race, we must demonstrate responsible leadership in Africa.” He said in a statement signed by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Shuaib Belgore, on Thursday
