FG DECLARES DECEMBER 25, 26 AND JANUARY 1 PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

The Federal Government has declared December 25 and 26, 2025, as well as January 1, 2026, public holidays to mark Christmas, Boxing Day, and the New Year celebrations.

A statement by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Dr Magdalene Ajani indicates that the declaration was made on behalf of the Federal Government by the Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo.

The Minister calls for reflection on the values of love, peace, humility, and sacrifice associated with the birth of Jesus Christ.

He also calls on Nigerians, regardless of faith or ethnicity, to use the festive season to pray for peace, security, and national progress.

Tunji-Ojo further urges citizens to remain law-abiding and security conscious during the celebrations, while wishing Nigerians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

This used to be Aregbe's KPI and job description as a minister. Today, he's leading the ADC to demand change. Such rascality.

Who cares about it!

A wise man uses Christmas season to plan heavily and even make more inputs/sales.

Relaxing during this season is a disadvantage to you.
Anyway, do as you wish.
