I was expecting Nigeria to be around second or third....I guess this one too is a victory for the istration Abi how you see am
which kind yeye victory. Those countries' labour forces are way more productive than Nigeria's because of enabling environments and pro-people government policies.
In Nigeria , her labour force is overworked and poorly taking care of.
Oyinbo understand the practice of work-life balance.

There are around 12-14 federal public holidays in Nigeria each year, not 11. Each state also has her own additional public holidays.

It's because most holidays in the UK are paid at double pay by most employers.

The truth is, those holidays favours everyone in those countries and that is something Nigeria does not like, anything that will benefit everyone that is why Nigeria is not on the list. If it is news about top 1 country with highest form of human slavery Nigeria will top the list like 10 times

Since your expectations ended with disappointment, ...you sound defeated and sad. Maybe, you can go have a hug with any nearby transformer to quench your sadness.

Do you mean to tell me that Nigerian public holidays are not up to 11days
Mehn at least I'm enlightened by this thread. Ordinarily one would think Nigerian public holidays are up to 20days with the way holidays are declared.

They are more than 20 days with the pattern we use..but the holiday itself is 11.

Most of our holidays are often celebrated over two days.
mrBlunt(m): 9:51am On Apr 10, 2024
Yes, but I think the post is counting the number of holiday events and not the days observed. This makes it 9 holidays in Nigeria. You get?
If it's by number of days, Nigeria will rise in the ranking. We dey observe 3 days now now.

Unfortunately, if you did the math very well, you'd find that for a 13 month calender, each month will have 28 days. Hence a 30 day holiday because of a 'free month" doest add up.
