Eid-el-Fitr: Lagos makes a U-turn, cancels Wednesday holiday

The Lagos State Government stated that it has only approved the dates of May 2nd and 3rd as public holidays to commemorate the 2022 International Workers’ Day and Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

The government also instructed employees at the Centre of Excellence to disregard an earlier circular that had approved three consecutive days as public holidays.

In a circular to employees dated April 27, 2022, the state’s Head of Service, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, approved May 2-4 as public holidays.

However, after the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, declared that May 2-3 were approved, the Lagos HoS reversed course and approved the same, urging workers to disregard the first circular.

Muri-Okunola signed both circulars.

In the second circular titled, ‘Re: Year 2022 Workers’ Day Celebration/Id-El-Fitr Public Holidays’, the Lagos HoS said, “Public servants in the state are therefore to disregard the resumption date stated in CIRCULAR NO 018 of 27th of April, 2022 and note that work resumes on Wednesday, 4th of May, 2022 at 08:00am prompt.”
