The Federal Government has officially declared Wednesday, December 25; Thursday, December 26; and Wednesday, January 1, 2025, as public holidays to celebrate Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day.
This announcement was made by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, in a statement issued on Monday and signed by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Magdalene Ajani.
Tunji-Ojo took the opportunity to extend festive greetings to all Nigerians, urging citizens to embrace the season’s spirit of love, peace, and unity.
