Public holidays in Nigeria are usually very interesting,
especially festive public holidays.

Nigerians tend to make the most out of their holidays by
throwing big parties, get-togethers, and picnics as the case
may be.

According to a BBC pidgin report, there are 21 public holidays in Nigeria for the year 2022.

For some, this is a bit of good news while for others, the
holidays might not favour their schedules, businesses, or other commitments.

It is important to note that in Nigeria, whenever there is a
declaration of the holiday by the federal government through the ministry of interior, it becomes an automatic closure of major economic activities.

For instance, all the financial institutions will join the holidays, schools, government offices and other types of business will go on break.

Meanwhile, when the door is closed on others, it opens for
others. For those in the entertainment world, the public holidays are the perfect period to organize events, parties, and other funfair activities.
