Ibrahim Shuaibu in Kano
The Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has declared today, Friday, May 14, as work free day to enable Muslim faithful continue with the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
The announcement was made by Kano State Commissioner for Information, Mr. Muhammad Garba, in a statement he issued yesterday.
Garba said the extension of the public holiday was in consideration of the fact that Wednesday, May 12, which was part of the two-day Eid holiday declared by the federal government, fell within the 30 days of Ramadan fasting period.
The governor, according to the statement, urged residents in the state to use the occasion, particularly during Jummah service, to pray for peace to continue to reign in the state and the country in general
