The Federal Government of Nigeria has declared Tuesday, 15 July, 2025, as a public holiday in honour of its late immediate past President, Muhammadu Buhari who passed away in London on Sunday.
This is in furtherance to the seven days of national mourning earlier declared by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the declaration on Monday.
Tunji-Ojo stated that the holiday is a mark of respect for the late President’s service to the nation and his enduring legacy in governance and national development.
He said that the holiday would provide an opportunity for Nigerians at large to reflect on the life and values of the Daura-born former President.
“President Muhammadu Buhari served Nigeria with dedication, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the unity and progress of our great nation.
“This public holiday provides an opportunity for all Nigerians to reflect on his life, leadership, and the values he upheld,” the Minister said.
He urged citizens to use the day to honour the late President’s memory by promoting peace, patriotism, and national cohesion, in line with his vision for a prosperous and united Nigeria.
