The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, has announced that the 2024 Eid-il-Fitr will be on Wednesday, April 10.
The Sultan, who doubled as the president general of the Nigeria Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), disclosed that the reason was that the national moon sighting committee could not see the new moon across the country.
