Ministry of Interior has declared Monday, 24 April 2023, a public holiday.
This is because Saturday, 22nd April 2023 marks Eid-ul-Fitr which is a statutory public holiday.
However, in view of the fact that 22 April falls on a Saturday, the President has by Executive Instrument in accordance with Section 2 of the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Act (ACT 601) declared Monday, 24 April 2023, as an additional public holiday.
A statement from the Interior Ministry sighted by Plan B News signed by the sector Minister, Ambrose Dery, said the holiday should be observed as such throughout the country.
Eid al-Fitr is the earlier of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam.
The religious holiday is celebrated by Muslims worldwide to mark the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.
