About Nigeria Holidays
Nigeria has 9 national public holidays. As Africa's largest economy with over 200 million people, Nigeria's business calendar affects trade across West Africa. Islamic holidays (Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Mawlid) follow the lunar calendar and exact dates depend on moon sighting. When a holiday falls on a weekend, some employers grant the following Monday off, but this is not legally mandated. The standard work week is Monday to Friday.
