Nigeria Public Holidays API is a dedicated API providing structured data on all Nigerian federal public holidays recognized by the Federal Government of Nigeria, returning the complete list of statutory national holidays with correct dates for any given year — including the moveable religious holidays whose dates shift annually based on the Islamic lunar calendar and the Christian ecclesiastical calendar. For Nigerian developers building payroll software, HR management systems, scheduling tools, delivery estimation engines, or any calendar-aware Nigerian application, this dedicated Nigeria-focused holiday API eliminates the need to integrate a more expensive global holiday API just to get Nigerian holiday dates.
