Sunday, March 30, 2025 has been confirmed Eid Al Fitr in Nigeria, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, announced Saturday night. This reversed the earlier message on the same subject.
The sighting of the crescent moon from various locations across Nigeria, marks the end of Ramadan for this year.
“With the sighting of the moon, Sunday, March 30, 2025, will be the 1st of Shawwal 1446 AH, marking the day for the Eid-el-Fitr celebration,” the Sultan, who is also the President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, stated.
He congratulated Muslims on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and urged them to sustain the virtues of patience, piety, and charity beyond the holy month.
