- Calculator id: `nigeria-public-working-days-between` · Category: Everyday Life (`everyday`) · Tool name: `count_ng_working_days`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/everyday/nigeria-public-working-days-between · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/everyday/nigeria-public-working-days-between.md · JSON definition: https://tttkmbb.com/everyday/nigeria-public-working-days-between.json

## Purpose

Counts authority-scope working and non-working dates in a range.

**Use when:** You need an auditable Nigeria working-day count.

**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

- Count Nigeria working days around Federal Democracy Day.
- Count Nigeria working days around 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. Normalize endpoints and count exact authority events over the declared weekday baseline. 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.
