It attests to Islamic theology that states that the opinion of a jurist like the Sultan of Sokoto who is to confirm the sighting of the moon for the start of the fasting as a source of the uniformity.

Unlike before that the start of fasting was not been unified and people sight the moon at different times, the recognition of authority of the Sultan of Sokoto by the Muslim Ummah is responsible for the uniformity in the commencement of Ramadan for the past two years which is commendable and a welcome development.
