Disclosing this in a live broadcast on Friday evening, the Sultan stated that, ‘Ramadan fast would commence on Saturday in accordance with Sharia. The new moon had been sighted in Sokoto, Borno, Yobe, Zamfara, and Plateau states.’

 The Sultan reportedly enjoined Muslims ‘to be more prayerful unto Allah, to help the nation, the world in general and the leaders in particular to overcome the current  challenges.’

He added, “Fasting brothers and sisters should ensure they have enough rest and consume sufficient fluid after each day’s fast.”
