Friday And Monday Have Been Declared Public Holidays To Celebrate Easter – FG

The Federal Government has declared Friday, March 29 and Monday, April 1, 2024 as public holidays to mark the celebrations of 2024 Good Friday and Easter Monday respectively.

The minister of interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Christians and all Nigerians in general must emulate the sacrifice and love displayed by Jesus Christ in dying for the redemption of man.

He added that imbibing Christs virtues is capable of impacting positively on the socio-economic development in Nigeria by fostering unity, reducing conflicts and encouraging cooperation among Nigerians.

His words, “Easter, beyond religious significance, promotes values of love, forgiveness, and compassion, which are essential for social cohesion and harmony.

While wishing Christians at home and abroad a happy and blissful Easter celebration, the Minister also called on Nigerians to join hands with President Tinubu-led Administration in its determination to bring sustainable development and usher in prosperity for all.”

WOW.
