Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje on Thursday declared Friday May 14 a work-free day to enable Muslim faithfuls continue with the Sallah celebrations.
This was contained in a statement by the state commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, on Thursday.
Ganduje said the decision was in consideration of the fact that Wednesday, May 12, which was part of the two-day Eid holiday declared by the federal government fell within the 30 days of Ramadan period.
The governor felicitated with the Muslim Ummah on this auspicious period that calls for sober reflection and sharing of goodwill among adherents.
He urged residents of the state to use the occasion to pray for peace to continue to reign in the state and the country.
