    BREAKING :Sultan Declares Friday as Eid-el-Fitr Day in Nigeria




    The Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has declared Friday, March 20, 2026, as the day for the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr in Nigeria.


    The announcement follows the non-sighting of the crescent moon marking the end of Ramadan across the country.


    In a statement issued by the Wazirin Sokoto, Professor Sambo Wali Junaidu, the Sultanate Council confirmed that no verified reports of the Shawwal 1447AH crescent were received from any part of Nigeria on Wednesday.


    According to the statement, Thursday, March 19, 2026, will mark the completion of the 30-day Ramadan fast, making Friday, March 20, the first day of Shawwal.


    The Sultan urged Muslims across the country to use the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr to pray for peace, unity, and continued progress in Nigeria.


    Eid-el-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a period observed by Muslims worldwide through fasting, prayer, and acts of charity.
