Branches of all commercial banks, including other financial institutions, will remain closed across the country on Monday, October 2, 2023.

This complies with the Federal Government’s declaration of a public holiday to commemorate Nigeria’s 63rd Independence Day anniversary.

Recall that the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, announced the holiday on Thursday, September 28 2023.

“It is today a known fact that difficult socio-economic and security challenges are global, and Nigeria is not isolated.

“The Government is daily making efforts to confront these varied and numerous challenges with all the might available until respite comes our way.

“Our warm welcoming spirit and love as well as our unbounded human capital and the richness of our land makes Nigeria unarguably the leading black Nation in the World being Africa’s pride and beacon of hope for the Renewed Hope of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”

While wishing the citizens a memorable independence celebration, the Minister noted that Nigeria’s founders, despite the differences in faith, tribe and tongue, came together for the country’s freedom.

The Minister also assured that the Tinubu administration will ensure a better Nigeria for all citizens as a tribute to our hero’s past.
