The Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has announced that the new moon of Shawwal 1446AH has been sighted.

In effect, the new moon signalled the end of the month of Ramadan, in which Muslim faithful have been observing fasting for the past 29 days. 

The Sultan announced the development in a video posted online on the night of Saturday, March 29, 2025. This ended an anticipated wait for many Nigerian Muslims, triggered by a similar announcement by Saudi Arabia.

The NSCIA PG said reports from various Muslim leaders and organisations in Nigeria confirmed that the new moon had been sighted.
He then declared Sunday, March 30, 2025, the 1st Shawal 1446AH and Eid-el-Fitr day.
“Today, 29th of Ramadan, we received reports from various Muslim leaders and organisations such as Shehu of Borno, Emir of Dutse, Emir of Argungu, Emir of Mabo, Emir of Daura, the Emir of Zazzau, and also the leadership of the JIBWIS in Jos of the confirmation of the sighting of the new moon of shawal 1446 after the Hijrah of our most noble leader.
“Therefore, tomorrow, 30th March, 2025, makes it 1st Shawal 1446AH and also the Eid-el-Fitr day,” said the Sultan.. Sourced from Pulseng
