The community leader described the month of Ramadan as a sacred period that is full of spiritual blessings, which everyone is encouraged to maximise for full spiritual and socioeconomic benefits.

He added that it was incumbent on every Muslim to make proper use of the period by engaging in activities that would draw him closer to the Almighty Allah, saying that the season is meant to reconcile human beings with Allah and his fellow creatures.

The retired intelligence technocrat explained the need for individuals, especially well to do ones, to cultivate the habit of reaching out to the less privileged, saying that our siblings, friends and neighbours must feel our positive impacts now more than ever before.

While advising Muslims to avoid things that would vitiate their fast, Alhaji Uthman appealed to clerics who conducts tafsir through one medium or the other to devote their times and energies to the fight against the challenges of the moment.
