🕌 Nigeria Declares June 6 & 9 Public Holidays for Eid-ul-Adha Celebration In a recent announcement, the Federal Government of Nigeria has declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays to commemorate this year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebration.  The Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made this declaration on behalf of the government, extending congratulations to the Muslim Ummah both within Nigeria and in the diaspora. He emphasized the significance of the Eid-ul-Adha festival and encouraged all Nigerians to support the administration’s efforts in restoring the nation’s glory.   Eid-ul-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is one of the most important Islamic holidays, commemorating the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God’s command. The festival is marked by special prayers, feasts, and acts of charity. The declaration of these public holidays provides an opportunity for Muslims across the country to observe the festival’s rites and for all Nigerians to engage in communal harmony and reflection. #EidUlAdha2025 #NigeriaPublicHoliday #FestivalOfSacrifice #FGHolidayAnnouncement #MuslimUmmah

🕯️ IPOB Urges South-East Governors to Declare May 30 as Public Holiday to Honor Biafran Heroes The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have called on governors in Nigeria’s South-East region to officially recognize May 30 as a public holiday to commemorate Biafra Day. This date is annually observed by pro-Biafra activists to honor those who lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War.  In a statement reported by Daily Post Nigeria, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, urged South-East leaders to emulate their South-West counterparts, who successfully advocated for the recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day in honor of MKO Abiola.  “IPOB seizes this moment of reflection to urge the Governors in Biafra Land, especially the South East and South South Governors, to establish May 30th as a public holiday to commemorate the fallen heroes of Biafra moving forward,” Powerful stated.  He emphasized that the request to commemorate Biafran heroes and heroines with a public holiday is a fair one, highlighting the importance of honoring those who sacrificed their lives for the Biafran cause.  Until such recognition is granted, IPOB has designated May 30th each year as Biafra Heroes Day, to be commemorated by Biafrans both locally and internationally.  #BiafraDay #IPOB #May30 #SouthEastNigeria #PublicHoliday #BiafranHeroes
