The Ministry of the Interior has declared Monday, March 31, and Tuesday, April 1, 2025, as public holidays.

This is in recognition of the Muslim festival of Eid-ul-Fitr.

In a statement signed by the Minister, Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak on Saturday, March 22, the ministry explained that Eid-ul-Fitr, which falls on Sunday, March 30, 2025, is a statutory public holiday.

However, in line with existing protocols and in the interest of the general public, President Mahama has issued an Executive Instrument (E.I.) under Section 2 of the Public Holidays and Commemorative Days Act (Act 601) to declare the following Monday and Tuesday as additional holidays.

This move fulfills a campaign promise by the president and acknowledges the vital contributions of the Muslim community to Ghana’s national development.
