Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has declared Friday 14, as work free day in continuation of Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

The declaration was contained in a statement on Thursday by the state commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba.

TheFact Nigeria Reports that the declaration is coming even as the federal government is yet to announce whether Friday would be a work free day or not.
