The NSCIA disclosed this in a statement signed by the Secretary-General, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, on Saturday.

He, however, added, “If Muslims sight the crescent in accordance with the moon sighting and verification standards, then His Eminence would declare Sunday, March 30, 2025 as the 1st of Shawwal and the day of Idul Fitr.”
