The Nigeria Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has declared that the Ramadan fast will continue on Wednesday while the Eid-el-Fitr will be on Thursday.
The NSCIA, headed by the Sultan of Sokoto, Saad Abubakar, said this in a statement Tuesday evening signed by Wazirin Sokoto Sambo Junaidu.
“The Sultanate Council Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs in conjunction with the National Moonsighting Committee did not receive any report from the moon sighting committees across the country confirming the sighting of the new moon of Shawwal 1442AH.
”Therefore, Wednesday 12th May 2021 is the 30th day of the month of Ramadan 1442AH,” the statement said.
