The Federation of Muslim Councils (FMC) has expressed appreciation to President John Dramani Mahama for declaring Monday, March 31, and Tuesday, April 1, as public holidays to mark the Eid-ul-Fitr.
The additional public holiday would enable Muslims in Ghana to celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitr festival with their families and loved ones, promoting a sense of community and social cohesion, it said.
The declaration is in fulfillment of President Mahama’s campaign promise to the Muslim community, demonstrating his commitment to promoting unity, inclusivity, and religious tolerance.
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency on Wednesday, signed by Dr Noble Ibrahim Adjin Lartey, the Acting National Coordinator of FMC, said: “We are grateful to President Mahama for recognising the significance of Eid-ul-Fitr and declaring an additional public holiday to enable Muslims to celebrate this joyous occasion.”
“This gesture reinforces Ghana’s reputation as a beacon of peace, tolerance, and coexistence,” it added.
The FMC commended President Mahama for his leadership and vision in promoting national unity and social cohesion.
It urged Muslims in Ghana to make the most of the opportunity and continue to promote peace, tolerance, and understanding, wishing all Muslims around the world Eid Mubarak.
