The Federal Government has urged Nigerians to ensure the strict observance of all Public Holidays declared by the government in accordance with the provision of the law. The Minister of Interior, retired Lieutenant General Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau who said this today in Abuja, said the laws establishing Public Holidays were contained in the Public Holidays Act of 1979.
Dambazau accordingly urged all Nigerians irrespective of their organisations, institutions or affiliations to ensure they obey and observe all holidays declared by the government.
The Minister warned that government would not hesitate to sanction any organisation, institution or affiliation that denies Nigerians the right to observe their holidays as provided in the Act by an “appropriate authority.”
