Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano has declared Monday a public holiday in the state to celebrate the seventh day of the Maulud festivities, urging the Muslim Ummah to reflect on the good teachings of the Prophet of Islam.

The Holiday is to mark the 7th day of Eid-ul-Maulud, commemorating the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
