Federation of Muslim Women in Nigeria (FOMWAN), has said that the challenges facing Nigeria are surmountable with faith in God and change of attitude on the part of the leaders and the led.
The association made this assertion in its Sallah message to Nigerians.
“The challenges facing Nigeria are surmountable with faith in God and change of attitude on the part of the leaders and the led,” FOMWAN said in a statement signed by its national Amirah, Hajia Rafiah Sanni.
It, therefore, called on Nigerian leaders to always be responsible and responsive to the yearnings and aspirations of the common man.
FOMWAN also enjoined the well-to-do individuals to always extend their benevolence hands to the needy and the less privileged in the spirit of Ramadan fasting which concluded on Tuesday.
“Islam frowns at someone who has the capacity to help others in need but failed to do so,” it said.
The Islamic body urged Nigerians to continue to pray for peace and stability of the country and urged Muslims to sustain the lessons of Ramadan as they brace to celebrate Eid-el- Fitr.
