The Niger state government has approved a five-day public holiday for the monitoring and distribution of palliatives and Ramadan feeding in the state.
The holiday will commence next week, Monday to Friday for Ramadan activities.
It had earlier been declared that palliatives would be shared across the state to cushion the effect of the economy on the people.
In a statement signed by the Commissioner of Information, Honourable Binta Mamman, the public holiday is to enable civil servants and political office holders to participate in the distribution and monitoring of palliatives and Ramadan feeding in their various local government areas.
She called on the civil servants and political office holders to take the task as a call to service to humanity while urging the public to cooperate with the officials and be orderly at all distribution and feeding points for smooth and successful exercise.
