,,,,The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has called on the Nigerian Muslim ummah to search for the crescent of Shawwal 1444 A.H. immediately after sunset on Thursday, 29 Ramadan 1444 A.H., which is equivalent to 20 April, 2023.
,,,,A statement on Tuesday signed by the Director of Administration, Zubairu Haruna Usman-Ugwu, said the NSCIA President-General and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, made the call upon the advice of the National Moon-Sighting Committee (NMSC).
,,,,,According to the statement, if the crescent is sighted by Muslims in accordance with the moon sighting and verification standards, then Sultan Abubakar will declare Friday, 21 April, 2023, as the first day of Shawwal and the day of ‘Idul Fitr.
….It said, however, that if the crescent is not sighted that day, then Saturday, 22, April 2023, automatically becomes the day of ‘Idul Fitr.
