Breaking: FG Extends Eid el Fitri Public Holiday

The Federal Government has extended the public holiday for the Eid-El-Fitr celebration to Thursday, Channels Television has reported.

Recall that last week, it announced a two-day – Tuesday and Wednesday – holiday for the festivities.

However, the crescent was not sighted in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, meaning the Eid celebration will take place on Wednesday, prompting the Federal Government to add an extra day to the already-declared public holiday.
