Eid-el-Kabir: Monday Not Public Holiday, Says FG

Contrary to speculation in some
quarters that changes have been made in the dates earlier declared as
public holidays in commemoration of the Eid-el-Kabir festival, the Federal
Government has reiterated that Monday is a working day.
The Federal
Government,

through the Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro said the clarification
became necessary following   the strings of misinformation said to be
publicized by some media houses in the country.
Mr. Moro reaffirmed that the dates of the Sallah holiday still remains
Tuesday, 15th and Wednesday, 16th October, 2013 and “wishes all
Nigerians a most rewarding and peaceful celebration.”
