The Federal Government of Nigeria has come out to declare that the swearing-in of President Muhammadu Buhari will take place on the 29th of May.
Confusion had begun to grow among Nigerians whether there will be a public holiday on the 29th of May, following the declaration of June 12 as ‘Democracy Day.’
Since the beginning of the 4th republic, May 29 has always been declared a work-free day to mark the return of Nigeria to democracy.
The Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who addressed the issue during a press conference that was broadcast live by the NTA, Radio Nigeria and Voice of Nigeria disclosed that President Buhari will be sworn in on May 29th.
