 declaration on behalf of government, enjoined the Muslim faithful and all Nigerians to 
extend the spiritual benefits of Ramadan, which are love, peace and justice to their daily 
living and through this, contribute to the development of the nation.
Gen. Dambazau also urged all Nigerians to use the opportunity of this spiritual rejuvenation
 to reflect on the need for unity and peaceful co-existence in strengthening the bond of 
togetherness for a strong, virile nation.
