President Bola Tinubu on Friday urged the Muslim Ummah to embody the virtues of selflessness and piety as the holy month of Ramadan begins.
He also assured Nigerians that his administration will work to keep the prices of food items on their current decline by maximising the planting season.
“I urge all Muslims observing the fast to embrace the profound lessons of piety, humility, and selflessness that this holy month embodies,” Tinubu said in his message to the Muslims as the Ramadan fasting season begins.
He described Ramadan as a time for deep reflection, renewed devotion to Allah, and acts of compassion and generosity toward humanity.
Emphasising that it is a season of spiritual rejuvenation, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate, the President encouraged Muslims to strengthen bonds with Allah and one another.
