“President Tinubu has approved Tuesday, July 15, 2025, as a work-free day for all Nigerians, in remembrance of a man whose life was defined by sacrifice, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to national service,” the statement read.
The government further urged Nigerians to use the day to offer prayers for the repose of the late president’s soul and to emulate his virtues of patriotism and integrity.
Late President Buhari served as Nigeria’s Head of State from 1983 to 1985, and later as a democratically elected President from 2015 to 2023.
Funeral arrangements are expected to be announced by the family in conjunction with the Federal Government.
