Nigeria Public Holidays 2026-2035
Complete 10-year public-holiday calendar for Nigeria, ready for Odoo HR. National and religious holidays — auto-applied to resource.calendar as leave entries.
What this module does
This module automatically loads every official public holiday of Nigeria for the years 2026 through 2035 into your Odoo system. National holidays (fixed-date) and religious / movable holidays are included based on each country's official sources. Each holiday is one click away from being added to all active resource.calendar records as leave entries, which means employee leave allocation is computed correctly out of the box. A built-in ir.cron re-runs the apply step every January 2nd so the calendar stays current year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Odoo versions does this module support?
This module supports both Odoo 18.0 and Odoo 19.0. Each Odoo series is on its own Git branch (18.0 and 19.0) and registered separately on the Apps Store.
Does this module cover all years from 2026 to 2035?
Yes — a full 10-year public holiday calendar is included for Nigeria, with national / federal-level holidays plus religious / movable holidays derived from official sources.
How are holidays applied to employee calendars?
Open HR → Time Off → Nigeria Holidays and click the "Apply to Calendars" button. All active resource.calendar records receive the holidays as resource.calendar.leaves entries, which are then honored by hr.leave.allocation calculations.
Are religious / movable holidays included?
Yes. Religious holidays (Easter-based, Eid al-Fitr / Eid al-Adha lunar dates, Diwali, Buddha Purnima, etc. depending on Nigeria) are included alongside national holidays. Lunar holidays carry standard-source estimates with ±1 day precision.
Is the holiday calendar timezone-aware?
Yes. Each leave entry is stored in UTC but generated relative to the resource.calendar's own timezone, so multi-tenant deployments and employees in different time zones see correct boundaries.
Does the module auto-renew for new years?
Yes — a built-in ir.cron job runs every January 2nd and re-applies all holidays for the current year to all active calendars. No manual upkeep needed once installed.
