As the 2025 Ramadan fasting season begins, President Bola Tinubu has extended warm greetings to Muslims in Nigeria and around the world, urging them to uphold the values of piety, humility, and selflessness that define the sacred month.
In a statement released on Friday, Tinubu expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for granting believers the opportunity to witness another Ramadan.
He described the period as a time for deep reflection, devotion, and generosity toward humanity.
Strengthening Faith and Unity
“Ramadan is a time for spiritual rejuvenation, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate,” Tinubu stated.
“Let us use this season to strengthen our bond with Allah and one another, fostering unity and peace in our communities.”
The President also linked the holy month to his administration’s economic recovery efforts, describing it as a season of renewed hope and progress for Nigeria.
Economic Growth and Stability
Highlighting recent improvements in the economy, Tinubu noted:
- A stabilizing exchange rate
- Declining fuel prices
- Lower costs of essential food items
He assured Nigerians that his administration’s bold economic policies were yielding positive results, citing a significant GDP improvement in the last quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Commitment to Food Security
With the wet farming season approaching, Tinubu reaffirmed his government’s dedication to agricultural productivity, pledging increased investment in mechanization, input support, and modern farming techniques to ensure food security.
A Call for National Unity
As the nation embarks on the month-long fast, Tinubu urged Nigerians to unite in prayer and action for the country’s continued progress.
“May the blessings of this holy month illuminate our hearts and homes.
May we emerge from it as better individuals and a stronger nation,” he concluded.
