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