About this calendar
In 2027, Nigeria observes 10 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Christmas Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Nigeria works Monday to Friday. Public holidays are declared by the federal government, and the exact days off for Islamic feasts are announced only days ahead, following the lunar sighting. Declared work-free days occasionally extend a holiday into a longer break.
