The Kano State government has directed all primary and post-primary schools in the state to proceed on break for the forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir celebrations from Wednesday, June 4.

The government, in a statement issued by the Commissioner of Education, Ali Makoda, said academic activities are to resume on Sunday, June 15, 2025.

Naijaonpoint reports the directive applies to both day and boarding schools, and urged parents and guardians of boarding students to get their children by the early hours of June 4.

The ministry emphasised that the decision was in line with the 2024/2025 academic calendar, which remained unchanged despite the festive break, noting that all academic and holiday schedules would be strictly adhered to.

Makoda also charged the parents to ensure that students resume promptly after the holiday.

“We also urge parents and guardians to ensure their children comply with the official resumption date for a smooth continuation of the academic term,” Makoda stated.

He further extended well-wishes to all students and staff, saying, “We wish our students and pupils a peaceful and successful Sallah break.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has declared Friday, June 6, and Monday, June 9, 2025, as public holidays to commemorate this year’s Eid-ul-Adha celebration.

Naijaonpoint reports that the announcement was made by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, on behalf of the federal government.

In a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani, the minister congratulated all members of the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and abroad on the occasion of the Eid.

He called on Muslims to continue to reflect the values of sacrifice, obedience, and faith as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (Peace be upon Him).
