Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has declared Friday as a work-free day to enable Muslim faithful continue with the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

The State Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, conveyed this in a statement released on Thursday.

Garba said the decision was in consideration of the fact that Wednesday, which was part of the two-day Eid holiday declared by the Federal Government, fell within the 30 days of Ramadan.
