President of Nigeria Basketball Federation, Engr. Musa Kida, has congratulated Muslims all over the world on the commencement of the holy month of Ramadan which started on Thursday, 23 March, 2023.
In the message, Kida thanked God for granting Muslims and indeed, Nigerians, the opportunity to witness another holy month of Ramadan.
“We’re grateful to Almighty Allah for granting us the opportunity to witness and enjoy the boundless blessings of this holy month. I pray that God grant our heart desires,” Kida prayed.
He went on to enjoin the Muslim faithfuls to imbibe the essence of the month of Ramadan, which calls for forgiveness, piety, support and love for each other.
“This month of Ramadan comes at a very auspicious moment of our national life. It is, indeed, an opportunity for all Muslim faithfuls and all Nigerians, to eschew bitterness, rancour and hatred.
“Rather, we should use this opportunity to preach peace, show love and compassion to each other,” he added.
