President John Dramani Mahama has announced a move to amend the holiday act to include an additional holiday for Eid ul Fitr.
He made the promise during the National Prayers and Thanksgiving service held at the National Mosque at Kanda in Accra on Friday, January 10, 2025.
As he reaffirmed his commitment to fulfilling promises made to the Muslim community during his election campaign, the President indicated that the amendment of the holiday act will be prioritized as soon as Parliament reconvenes. "We promised to add one more holiday to the Eid al Fitr.
So as soon as parliament settles, we're going to amend the holidays act to include an extra holiday on the occasion of being a leader.
