The stock exchange will only trade for three days next week to accommodate the announcement of public holidays by the Federal Government.

Minister of Interior, Captain Emmanuel Ihenacho, yesterday announced that the Federal Government has declared Thursday and Friday next week as public holidays to mark this year’s Muslim festival of Id-el-Fitr, signaling the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

Captain Ihenacho, in a statement signed by the Assistant Director, Press, Mr Timothy Oyedeji, wished Nigerians a blissful and joyous celebration during the period.
