The federal government has declared Monday, September 16, as public holiday to mark the celebration of the Eid-ul-Mawlid, the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who made the declaration on behalf of the federal government, congratulated Muslim Ummah both at home and in the Diaspora on this occasion.
In a statement signed by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, Friday in Abuja, the minister urged the Muslim Ummah and, by extension, Nigerians, to imbibe the spirit of patience, sacrifice, and resilience.
The minister also implored the Muslim faithful to use the opportunity of the period to pray for enduring peace and a more prosperous egalitarian nation.
