Monday, July 11 is a public holiday

Government has declared Monday, July 11 as a public holiday.

This is because July 9, which is a Saturday, marks the day for the celebration of Eid-ul-Adha.

President Nana Akufo-Addo, "in accordance with Section 2 of the Public Holidays Act (601), has, thus, declared Monday as holiday."

Mr. Ambrose Dery, the Minister of Interior, in a statement, urged the general public to observe the day as such throughout the country.

Eid ul-Adha, often referred to as Feast of Sacrifice, is one of the two important religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide.

The festival is usually opened with special prayers before the slaughtering of goats, sheep or cows, among others.
