The holy month of Ramadan is here again, and it is the period for abstinence from all acts against the dictates of the Islamic religion.
President of the Nigeria Basketball Federation, Engr (Dr) Ahmadu Musa Kida, has joined millions of Muslim faithful across the world to welcome the holy month, even as he noted that the month brings so much peace, unity, love and compassion.

In his well-delivered message, Kida urged for piety, sober reflection and selflessness amongst the people. He added that the period also allows for spiritual and personal rebirth, which would consequently bear positively on the fortunes of the country.
“This is a very important month in the lives of Muslim faithfuls. Moreover, it is another gracious opportunity for the people to show love and kindness and display true peace and unity, in line with the religion,” Kida preached.
Kida, who doubles as Chairman of NNPCL, admonished well-placed Nigerians to display compassion and support for the less privileged, which, he added, aligns with the all-inclusive renewed hope agenda of the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He further tasked Nigerians to also use the period to pray for peace, unity and the continued growth of the socio-economic life of Nigeria.
