Today is Tuesday, the day after Easter Monday, the “long weekend” holiday where we all wished we were not going back to work and the holidays continues.
Considering that this happens mostly after every fun holiday, this is an outline of all the public holidays we have from May 2021 – December 2021 in Nigeria. Note that some dates may be special but public holidays won’t be observed and dates that falls on the weekend will be observed on weekdays.
I hope this helps you know when to prepare for the holiday and when to get your work shoes on!
