Complete Guide on Ramadan in Nigeria
Ramadan is the ninth month in Islam, and during this month, Muslims fast every day from dawn until sunset. For this reason, it is important for Muslims in Nigeria to know the exact Sehr and Iftar time. Fasting times are not the same every day. The total duration may be shorter at the beginning of Ramadan, and it gets longer by the end of the month. This happens because the sun rises a little earlier and sets a little later each day.
