What the numbers say
In 2026, Cameroon has 8 nationwide public holidays and Nigeria has 8 — exactly the same number. They line up on 4 dates, including New Year's Day, Good Friday, Labour Day and Christmas Day.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Cameroon has 7 on working days (1 fall on a weekend), against 8 for Nigeria (0 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Cameroon offers 3 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Nigeria offers 6 and 2. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is May in Cameroon and April in Nigeria.
