The statement also addressed business owners, market vendors, and traders, urging them to uphold honesty and integrity in their dealings.
The foundation cautioned against artificial inflation and exploitative pricing, emphasizing that Ramadan should be a period of shared empathy, not economic hardship.
“As we devote ourselves to fasting and prayer, let us also raise our voices in supplication for the unity, peace, and prosperity of our beloved nation. May Allah bestow His divine guidance upon our leaders and grant our country the strength to overcome its challenges,” the statement read.
The foundation reaffirmed its commitment to fostering peace, equity, and social justice, calling on all Nigerians to embrace the core principles of Ramadan—faith, patience, and generosity.
