President Bola Tinubu is scheduled to depart Abuja for Lagos State today, ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
According to a statement from the State House, the President will observe the Islamic holiday in Lagos, where he will also spend the Sallah holidays.
The President is expected to mark the occasion with prayers and reflection, focusing on his administration’s efforts to transform Nigeria in line with his Renewed Hope Agenda.
The Eid-el-Kabir celebrations come after the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, declared Sunday, June 16, as the day of Eid-el-Kabir, following the sighting of the moon on Friday, signaling the start of Dhul Hijjah.
President Tinubu’s trip to Lagos is seen as a gesture of goodwill and a show of solidarity with the people of Lagos State, as they celebrate this important Islamic holiday.
“The President will mark the occasion in prayers and reflection on advancing the transformation of Nigeria in line with his Renewed Hope Agenda,” the statement said.
