As the holy month of Ramadan begins today, March 1, 2025, President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt wishes to Muslims in Nigeria and around the world. He emphasized the significance of this period for deep reflection, renewed devotion to Allah, and acts of compassion and generosity toward humanity.
In his message, President Tinubu highlighted that Ramadan is a time for spiritual rejuvenation, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate. He urged all Muslims observing the fast to embrace the profound lessons of piety, humility, and selflessness that this holy month embodies. He called on the faithful to use this period to strengthen their bonds with Allah and one another, fostering unity and peace in their communities.
The President noted that this year’s Ramadan holds special significance as it coincides with a period of renewed hope and progress for Nigeria. He observed that the administration’s bold and transformative policies are beginning to yield positive results, evidenced by the gradual stabilization of the economy. Key indicators such as the Gross Domestic Product for the last quarter of 2024 showed marked improvement over the same period in 2023. Additionally, the once-soaring prices of essential food items are now on the decline, providing much-needed relief to Nigerians. The exchange rate is stabilizing, and fuel prices are decreasing, signaling a brighter future.
As the wet season approaches, President Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to boosting agricultural productivity. He stated that the government is determined to enhance food production and ensure self-sufficiency and food security for all Nigerians through targeted input support, mechanization, and innovative farming initiatives. He called on all Nigerians to join hands in prayer and action for the country’s continued growth and development, seeking Allah’s guidance and protection for the nation. He expressed hope that the blessings of this holy month would illuminate hearts and homes, leading to better individuals and a stronger nation.
