The statement, released by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Aishetu Ndayako, highlighted the government’s commitment to celebrating this significant occasion. Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, extended congratulations to the Muslim community for their dedication throughout the month of spiritual observance.
