The Federal Government has designated Wednesday, December 25; Thursday, December 26; and Wednesday, January 1, 2025, as public holidays to commemorate Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day.
Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Minister of Interior, made the news on Monday in a statement signed by Magdalene Ajani, the ministry’s Permanent Secretary.
Tunji-Ojo greeted Nigerians, encouraging them to embrace the season’s principles of love, peace, and unity.
“The Christmas season is a good moment for both spiritual reflection and national renewal. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, let us demonstrate kindness and extend goodwill to one another, irrespective of our differences,” Tunji-Ojo said.
He also emphasized how important it is for Nigerians to fortify their ties to their families and communities to promote harmony and advance the country.
“The Federal Government is committed to ensuring peace, security, and prosperity across the nation,” Tunji-Ojo said, assuring Nigerians of the government’s commitment.
He hoped the nation would move toward greater prosperity in 2025 under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
