Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has declared Friday, May 14 a work-free day to enable Muslim faithful continue with the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
The state Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba announced this in a statement on Thursday.
He said the decision 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 period.
The governor, according to the statement, felicitated with the Muslim Ummah on this auspicious period that calls for sober reflection and sharing of goodwill among adherents.
