The Federal Government has announced public holidays on Friday, March 29, and Monday, April 1, 2024, in observance of Good Friday and Easter Monday, respectively. Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, conveyed the declaration, emphasizing the significance of Easter beyond religious boundaries.
He urged Christians to embrace values of love, forgiveness, and compassion, promoting social cohesion.
Additionally, the Minister encouraged acts of charity and generosity towards the less privileged, aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda. While extending Easter wishes, he called for collective efforts in President Tinubu's administration to foster sustainable development and prosperity.
However, the announcement garnered mixed reactions on social media, with some expressing nostalgia for previous holiday announcements by former Minister Aregbesola, calling for a similar vibe in the current announcement.
