In a personally signed statement, President Tinubu expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for granting believers the grace to witness the commencement of this holy month, which serves as a cornerstone of the Islamic faith.
“Ramadan is a time for deep reflection, renewed devotion to Allah, and acts of compassion and generosity toward humanity,” he emphasized. He described it as a season of spiritual rejuvenation, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate.
Encouraging all Muslims observing the fast, Tinubu urged them to embrace the profound lessons of piety, humility, and selflessness that define Ramadan.
“Let us use this period to strengthen our bonds with Allah and one another, fostering unity and peace in our communities,” he stated.
The President noted that this year’s Ramadan holds special significance as it aligns with a period of renewed hope and national progress. He highlighted his administration’s transformative policies and pointed out their positive impact on the nation’s economy.
“The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2024 showed a marked improvement compared to the same period in 2023,” Tinubu revealed.
He also reassured Nigerians that the prices of essential food items were on a downward trend, bringing much-needed relief to the fasting population and the general public. Additionally, he noted the stabilization of the exchange rate and a decline in fuel prices, signaling economic recovery and a brighter future.
As millions of Muslims begin their Ramadan journey, President Tinubu’s message of hope, resilience, and unity serves as a guiding light for Nigerians. With a focus on national progress, economic recovery, and communal harmony, this holy month presents an opportunity for renewed faith and collective growth.
