## Purpose

Checks a date against the Saturday-Sunday weekend baseline and exact 2026-2026 authority events.

**Use when:** You need a deterministic Nigeria Nigeria 2026 nationwide federal public-holiday calendar over a Saturday-Sunday weekend result.

**Do not use when:** This is the nationwide federal public-holiday layer, not a universal private-employer, state, local-government, school, banking, market, diplomatic-mission or sector calendar. Ministry of Interior announcements take precedence over conflicting secondary or diplomatic snapshots for federal dates. Eid dates are lunar and can be amended by later official notice. The Public Holidays Act permits special or substituted dates and explicitly does not create an automatic extra day for a holiday falling on Saturday or Sunday; no replacement day is invented here.

## Example user requests

- Nigeria: Federal Democracy Day.
- Nigeria: Ordinary federal working day.

## Limitations

This is the nationwide federal public-holiday layer, not a universal private-employer, state, local-government, school, banking, market, diplomatic-mission or sector calendar. Ministry of Interior announcements take precedence over conflicting secondary or diplomatic snapshots for federal dates. Eid dates are lunar and can be amended by later official notice. The Public Holidays Act permits special or substituted dates and explicitly does not create an automatic extra day for a holiday falling on Saturday or Sunday; no replacement day is invented here. Apply the pinned authority event table over the declared weekday baseline; do not infer uncovered employer or regional schedules. All values are computed from the formula above; no measurement or live data is involved.

## FAQ

**Does this answer every Nigerian employer's calendar?**

No. It is the nationwide federal public-holiday layer. State, local, school, bank, market, diplomatic, sector and private-employer calendars need their own authority and are not inferred.

**Why does the package use March 19–20 for Eid-ul-Fitr?**

Those are the dates in the Nigeria Ministry of Interior's federal announcement. A diplomatic snapshot lists different dates, so the federal announcement is retained as the authoritative scope and the conflict is disclosed.
