The Ministry of the Interior has officially declared Friday, April 3, and Monday, April 6, 2026, as statutory public holidays, giving Ghanaians across the country the opportunity to fully observe the Easter season.
The announcement was contained in a press release issued on March 30, in which the Ministry confirmed that the two dates mark the observance of Good Friday and Easter Monday, respectively. The Ministry called on the general public to recognize both days as public holidays throughout Ghana, in accordance with the country’s official holiday calendar.
The declaration was signed by the Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, lending official weight to what is one of the most significant periods in the Christian calendar.
Good Friday and Easter Monday hold deep religious meaning for Christians around the world. Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, while Easter Monday celebrates his resurrection, together forming the cornerstone of the Christian faith. In Ghana, the holidays are widely marked with church services, religious processions, family gatherings, and vibrant community events that bring people together across the country.
By making the declaration official, the Ministry ensures that citizens are not only free to rest from work, but are also able to fully participate in the spiritual and cultural observances that define the Easter period. With the holidays just days away, Ghanaians are being encouraged to make the most of the season.
