🇳🇬 Nigerian public holidays
Federal public holidays for 2026 + next year.
About these dates
Nigeria has 11-12 federal public holidays per year. Fixed dates (New Year, Workers' Day, Democracy Day, Independence Day, Christmas, Boxing Day) repeat every year. Moveable dates (Easter, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Mawlid) shift annually — the federal government typically confirms Islamic dates 1-2 days ahead based on the National Moon Sighting Committee's ruling.
One-off declarations (e.g. presidential inauguration, mourning days) aren't in the calendar above. Data refreshes daily; if the government declares a new holiday it usually appears within 24 hours.
