He made this announcement on Wednesday evening, stating that
the Shawwal crescent moon was not sighted in Nigeria.
Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of
fasting, and is widely observed by Muslims across the world with prayers and
feasting.

from Saudi Arabian authorities, who also confirmed that the crescent moon
marking the beginning of Shawwal was not sighted on Wednesday, setting Friday
as the date for the celebration.
