The federal government has declared Wednesday, Sept. 27, public holiday in commemoration of Eid-el-Maulud celebration, the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
The minister of interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the declaration on behalf of the federal government in Abuja.
Mr Tunji-Ojo congratulated the Muslim Ummah both home and in diaspora for witnessing the occasion.
He admonished Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of love, patience, tolerance and perseverance which were deep spiritual virtues that the Holy Prophet exemplified.
The minister also urged Nigerians, especially the youth to embrace the virtues of hard work and peaceful disposition to fellow humans, irrespective of faith, ideology, social class and ethnicity.
He also enjoined them to join hands with President Bola Tinubu’s administration in its effort to build a progressive and enviable nation that Nigerians would be proud of.
Mr Tunji-Ojo wished the Muslim Ummah a joyful celebration.
