The President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar, has declare tomorrow (March 30) the day of Eid-el-Fitr.

In a special broadcast to the Muslim Ummah on Saturday from his palace in Sokoto, the monarch said, the new moon was sighted in various parts of the country.

Reports of the moon sighting were received from traditional leaders and Muslim organizations across the country, including Daura, Borno, Dutse, Maru, and JIBWIS in Jos.

The Sultanate Council Moon Committee verified and authenticated these reports.

As a result, Sunday, March 30, 2025, will mark the first day of Shawwal 1446 AH and Eid-el-Fitr, Sultan Sa’ad declared.

He advised Muslims to put into practice the lessons they learned during the fasting period.

Sultan Sa’ad also called on Nigerians to continue living in harmony with one another for the country’s socioeconomic development.

He urged Muslims to pray for the country’s political leaders at all levels.

“The Sultan, while urging the Muslim Ummah to continue to pray for peace, progress, and development of the country, also wishes all Muslims a happy Eid-el-Fitr.”
