FG Extends Eid-El Fitri Holiday Till Thursday

The federal government has added Thursday July 7, 2016, to the two-day public holiday it initially declared for the celebration of Eid-el fitr, following the non-appearance of the moon as at Monday night, signifying that the Ramadan fast will go on for one more day.






Abdulrahman Dambazau, minister of interior, made the declaration on behalf of the federal government in a statement on Tuesday, which was signed by Bassey Okon Akpanyung, permanent secretary of the ministry.

“This declaration followed the directive by the President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, to the effect that the Ramadan fast continues on Tuesday as a result of the non-sighting of the moon,” read the statement.

It urged Nigerians to use this period of sober reflections to ensure harmony, unity and peaceful co-existence, while giving full support to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in his sustained effort to pursue socio-economic and political growth of the nation.


The federal government earlier declared Tuesday and Wednesday as public holidays, as NSCIA initially expected the moon to be sighted between Sunday and Monday.

    So until they sight the moon they will keep fasting. Okay, that's non of my business, but what happens if the moon fails to appear even by next week? will the holidays still be extended? I love holidays but the reason for the extension is quite absurd, considering the fact that It's not an Islamic nation involved. When it's Christmas or Easter, Christians should cook up a reason for the holidays to be extended as Well.

    This is nonsense! This country is not an Islamic state for crying out loud. Why then did they fix the holiday without sighting the moon? Just because they muslims have conspired within themselves to take 3 days holiday the now plotted to use the moon to achieve it by not waiting to sight it beforehand. This is deliberate, because it is their own that is at the top they are now taking advantage? Really nothing stops them from waiting until the moon is sighted before the declaration of public holiday. Moon Worshipers!!!
