Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has declared Monday a public holiday to commemorate the beginning of the new Islamic calendar, 1446 AH.
The governor urged citizens to reflect on the past year and engage in activities that benefit the community. He also promised that his administration would continue to empower citizens through policies and programs.
Additionally, he called on Muslims to intensify prayers for peace and progress in the state.
This move comes after the Sultan declared Sunday the commencement of the Islamic New Year 1446 AH.
Other states like Jigawa have also declared Monday a public holiday for the same reason.
