Meanwhile, an Ilorin cleric and Imam, Alhaji Abdul-Hammed Abdullahi, has urged Nigerian Muslims to intensify their charity giving, spiritual purification and prayers for the country during Ramadan.
Abdullahi made the call while speaking with journalists in Ilorin on preparation for the 2014 Ramadan fast, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
He explained that the holy Muslim month is a time for human beings to come together to renew their good deeds.
The imam advised Nigerians to engage in more spiritual activities, ask for forgiveness of sins and strive to attain righteousness and piety.
The annual obligatory Ramadan fast is one of the five pillars of Islam, and the Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said: "Commence fasting when you sight the (Ramadan) crescent and terminate fasting when you sight the (Shawwal) crescent.
"But if the sky is cloudy, then, count 30 days of Sha'ban or of Ramadan as the case may be".
