The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has announced that Ramadan will start on Friday, April 24.
The NSCIA President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, announced this on Thursday.
Ramadan traditionally begins with the sighting of the crescent moon, which means the start of the holy month cannot be predicted precisely.
The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and the dates of Ramadan therefore change each year, subject to the sighting of the moon.
