In a statement signed by the Minister for Interior, Henry Quartey, the holiday is in line with the celebration of the Eidul-Fitr and should be observed as a public holiday.

“The general public is hereby informed that Thursday, 11th April, 2024, which marks Eidul-Fitr, is a statutory public holiday and should be observed as such throughout the country,” the statement said.
