In a statement released on Sunday, Prof. Sulaiman encourages Nigerians to utilize this period to pray for the nation’s prosperity.
“I extend my warmest congratulations to our Muslim Ummah worldwide, especially those in Nigeria as they embark on another blessed month of Ramadan.
“Ramadan presents a unique opportunity for millions globally to deepen their faith through fasting, prayer, Quranic study, reflection, and acts of charity.
“We express gratitude to Allah for allowing us to witness the sacred month of Ramadan in 2024.
