About Public Holidays in Nigeria
Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, celebrates a holiday calendar that balances Muslim, Christian and national traditions. The two Eids and the Prophet's birthday follow the Islamic calendar and are observed across the northern and southern regions alike, while Christmas, Easter and Good Friday anchor the Christian year. Independence Day on October 1 and Democracy Day on June 12 are the great civic commemorations, and Labour Day joins a calendar that reflects the country's roughly equal Muslim and Christian populations.
In January 2027 there is 1 public holiday: New Year's Day. In 2027, Nigeria observes 19 public holidays including 19 national, of which 6 fall on a weekend.
