Public Holidays in Nigeria 2022: Here is the full list of Nigeria’s Public holidays are usually very interesting, especially festive public holidays.


Nigerians tend to make the most out of their holidays by throwing big parties, get-togethers, and picnics as the case may be.

  • Nigerians are looking forward to the Id el Kabir holidays in July as part of the celebration of the Muslims
  • Meanwhile, the month of June have witnessed the ‘Democracy Day’ holiday and the ‘Father’s Day’ celebration
  • Also, the most anticipated October 1 public holiday is also on the card as Nigeria will mark its independence anniversary as a sovereign nation

There are 21 public holidays in Nigeria for the year 2022.

For some, this is a bit of good news while for others, the holidays might not favour their schedules, businesses, or other commitments.

It is important to note that in Nigeria, whenever there is a declaration of the holiday by the federal government through the ministry of interior, it becomes an automatic closure of major economic activities.

For instance, all the financial institutions will join the holidays, schools, government offices and other types of business will go on break.
