The Federal Government Nigeria has declared Friday, April 15 and Monday, April 18, 2022, as holidays in commemoration of Easter celebrations.
The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, announced the holiday on behalf of the Federal Government on Tuesday.
In a statement, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr Shuaib Belgore, noted that, Aregbesola urged Christians to emulate the attributes of sacrifice, togetherness, forgiveness, kindness, love, peace and patience, which were the attributes and practices of Jesus Christ, as exemplified by his ministry on earth.
The Minister, however, assured that the Federal Government would leave no stone unturned to ensure that the recent attacks by undesirable elements on the highways, airport and the railway are timely brought to an end.
