“May Allāh accept our siyām, qiyām & a’māl & may He allow us to witness many more Ramadāns in good health. Āmīn,” the statement read.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, and is celebrated by Muslims worldwide with prayers, feasting, and acts of charity.

However, as of tradition, Muslims in Nigeria would have to wait on the Sultan of Sokoto, H.M. Sultan Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, for a directive on the ending of Ramadan.
