President John Dramani Mahama has officially declared Monday, 31 March, and Tuesday, 1 April 2025, public holidays to mark this year’s Eid ul-Fitr celebrations.
The announcement, communicated by the Office of the President, highlights the government’s commitment to fostering national unity, religious tolerance, and inclusive socio-economic progress.
The two-day holiday aims to allow Ghana’s Muslim community and all citizens to fully participate in festivities marking the end of Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting, prayer, and reflection. In a statement, President Mahama emphasized the significance of the occasion in promoting harmony and solidarity among Ghanaians.
“Eid is a time of gratitude, charity, and fellowship. By declaring these holidays, we reaffirm our respect for Ghana’s diverse religious traditions and our dedication to creating a society where every citizen feels valued,” the President said. He further urged Muslims and non-Muslims alike to use the period to strengthen bonds of brotherhood and support vulnerable communities.
The declaration aligns with the broader goals of the Reset Ghana Agenda, a policy framework focused on national renewal, equitable development, and cultural cohesion. Since its launch, the agenda has prioritized initiatives that bridge societal divides and amplify grassroots participation in governance.
