Public Holidays! Oh don’t we just love them. Writing this already excites me I feel like bursting into a song. Lol Holidays are the free days where your leave days are not actively counting and In Lagos where they are the periods where roads are the freest. If you’d like to travel during the weekend then be sure to plan very well ahead of time. Here are Nigerian holidays that you should circle in your calendar and look out for.
