Govt declares March 31, April 1 as public holidays

The Interior Minister, Muntaka Mohammed, has declared Monday, March 31, and Tuesday, April 1, 2025, as public holidays in Ghana.

In a statement issued on Saturday, March 22, and signed by the minister, the government explained that the additional holiday is in recognition of Eid-ul-Fitr, which falls on Sunday, March 30, 2025.

The statement noted that since the statutory holiday coincides with a Sunday, President John Dramani Mahama, under Section 2 of the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Act (Act 601), has declared Monday, March 31, and Tuesday, April 1, as additional public holidays.

The minister urged the public to observe the holidays accordingly and comply with the declaration made by the president through an Executive Instrument (E.I.).

The declaration ensures that citizens, especially the Muslim community, can fully participate in Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations across the country.
