Missionary schools today are open for academic activities, despite the public holiday declared by Federal Govt to mark Eid Ui Kabir.

I attended Missionary secondary school and right from then, i have observed this religious anomaly so to say. At that time, when our friends in public schools were at home enjoying the 2 days holiday, we would be in school cracking our brains. Same still goes on today.

I have always thought that public holiday declared by Federal Govt. is binding on every citizen of this country includind the foreigners.

In the Southern part of this country, though i don't know much about the Northern part, Missionary schools go about their normal academic activitiies.
Although Christian Religious public holidays mostly fall within the academic break/vacation as in the case of Easther and Christmas periods, to emphatically say Islamic schools don't also observe the holiday when Christians are celebrating.

Honestly, this mind-boggling question needss your religious or otherwise answer/contributions.

Must they?

Lol. Dude, I think you are missing something. Public holidays are only binding to Government institutions. Bodies that report directly to the government. Since missionary schools are not government owned, nor driven, you don't expect them to be under any instruction made for government-owned institutions.
You may as well ask why market business people don't go on public holidays.

True, and the missionaries on today's matter might not see a need to celebrate this day, they are Christians not Muslims.

That's a good one. More like celebrating the annivasary of an organization diametrically opposed to yours. That would be delusional.

This debate got happened in my school, we had to have only Good news bibles, attend morning devotions daily, attend wednesday services after school and go to our school church every sunday or you will be flogged or expelled, we had catholics and muslims pulling out in the middle of the year due to the christian rules.

Why go to a missionary school if you know you don't agree with their constitution

I agree with you completely. As long as you were not compelled to register with the school, I think the school rules must be respected.
The only thing I have a problem with is humiliating the student. Like asking a university student, an adult, to kneel in front of the class.

Federal holiday is not binding on private establishments such as Missionary schools. They can so choose or not choose. Whether there reasons are religious, political or financial shouldn't be anyone's concern. I attended a missionary school while we stayed at school, however Muslims were allowed to visit home if their parents requested

Silverbird galaria and mama nkechi beer parlour also open on sallah.
