    Frequently asked questions

    How many working days are in Nigeria in 2025?

    There are 249 working days in Nigeria in 2025. That's calculated from 365 calendar days minus 104 weekend days and 12 public holidays that fall on a weekday. The remaining 2 public holidays land on weekends and don't reduce the working-day count.

    How many working hours are in Nigeria in 2025?

    Nigeria has 1992 working hours in 2025, based on the 40-hour statutory work week (8 hours per day × 249 working days). Source: Nigerian Labour Act (Chapter 198).

    Which public holidays in Nigeria fall in 2025?

    14 public holidays fall in 2025: New Year's Day (2025-01-01); Id el Fitr (2025-03-30); Good Friday (2025-04-18); Easter Monday (2025-04-21); Worker's Day (2025-05-01); Children's Day (2025-05-27) and 8 more.

    Does this count include half-days or regional holidays?

    No — only nationwide public and bank holidays defined by Nigerian Labour Act (Chapter 198) are subtracted. Regional, observance, and optional holidays vary by state or canton and aren't included so the headline figure stays consistent for nationwide payroll, billing, and capacity-planning use.
