Muslims to enjoy one extra public holiday after fasting-JDM

The 2024 flagbearer of National Democratic Congress, John Dramani Mahama, has said the next NDC government will add an extra holiday to make it two days for the celebration of Eidul Fitr

There has been a growing concern by the Muslim community about not getting enough days to celebrate the Eid depending on when the moon is sighted to mark the ending of the fasting.

John Mahama noted that the additional holiday would be backed with legislation instruments.

He added that NDC will also build a second public Muslim training college to the existing Wenchi Muslim training college to help train Muslim teachers across the country.

He made these statements at the Ghana Muslim Mission 63rd Annual National Conference in Kumasi.
