The Federal Government has declared Tuesday July 20 and Wednesday July 21, 2021, as public holidays to mark this year\u2019s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, congratulates all Muslim faithful and Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora on this occasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call on Muslims to continue to imbibe the spirit of love, peace, kindness and sacrifice, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) and to also use the period to pray for peace, unity, prosperity and the stability of the country, considering the challenges of insecurity we face at the moment. These mainly are bandits in the North West and North Central, insurgents in the North East, kidnappers, armed robbers, ethnic agitators and sundry criminals in other parts of the country\u201d Aregbesola added.<\/p>\n

The Minister assured that the Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is \u201ccommitted to the security of lives and property of every Nigerian, empowering the citizens for successful living, the provisions of social investments programmes and adequate security in the schools, especially with the spate of innocent school children being targets of kidnapping\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Aregbesola, while wishing Muslim faithfuls a happy Eid-el Kabir celebration, advised all Nigerians to take responsibility by reporting any suspicious individuals and criminal activities to law enforcement agencies, especially during this festival.<\/p>\n

He also enjoined on all Nigerians the observance of all Covid-19 protocols, particularly the non-pharmaceutical measures \u2013 wearing facemasks, hand washing and social distancing – designed to keep transmission of the disease at bay. \u201cWe must all take responsibility for containment of the pandemic during this year\u2019s festival\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Minister sympathises with the families of school children who have been kidnapped or suffered one misfortune or another. \u201cOur hearts and prayers of comfort are with you\u201d Aregbesola said.<\/p>\n

Happy Eid-el Kabir celebration. God bless Nigeria<\/p>\n
