The Ministry of Interior has officially declared Friday, April 18, 2025, and Monday, April 21, 2025, as statutory public holidays in Ghana, in observance of Good Friday and Easter Monday.
In a statement signed by Interior Minister Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, the Ministry urged Ghanaians to observe these holidays in accordance with the country’s laws and customs.
Good Friday, a significant day in the Christian calendar, commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is traditionally observed as a day of mourning and reflection.
Easter Monday, which follows Easter Sunday, is a day of celebration and festivities, often marked by family gatherings and outdoor activities. The Ministry’s declaration ensures that these holidays are observed nationwide, allowing citizens to participate in traditional activities and spend time with loved ones.
The public is encouraged to plan accordingly and make necessary arrangements during this period.
