As Muslim Ummah continue to observe the 2026 Ramadan Fasting globally, the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation will, in the last 10 days of the glorious month, commence its annual Ramadan Iftar Feeding Programme to provide meals for Muslims observing the fast across the country, as part of its commitment to supporting underserved communities.
The initiative, a regular feature of the Foundation’s Ramadan activities, is designed to support vulnerable members of the Muslim community and ensure that more people can break their fast with a nutritious meal during the holy month.
Dr. Audu Idowu Musa, the Executive Director, Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation stated this in a statement issued at the weekend, a copy made available to Emirate Radio 98.5 FM, Ilorin.
He noted that, “This year’s programme will take place in Niger, Sokoto, Bauchi, Borno, Kaduna, Plateau, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where meals will be provided daily in two mosques per state, with 100 fasting Muslims expected to benefit per mosque each day.
“In Kwara State, where the Foundation has traditionally maintained its widest outreach, the feeding programme will be held in 52 mosques across the state and will provide meals for thousands of Muslims during this period.”
The Foundation helmsman further stressed that the holy month provides an opportunity for those who are able to support others and strengthen the bonds within communities.
His words; “At a time when the economic strain on many households has become increasingly evident, even providing a simple meal has grown more difficult than ever before, and the burden is felt most deeply by the vulnerable within our communities.
“It is in times like these that the importance of compassion and looking out for one another becomes even clearer. Acts of support, however modest, can bring relief and remind people that they are not alone in these challenging times.
“The Ramadan feeding programme reflects the ABS Foundation’s long-standing commitment to supporting vulnerable communities. Over the years, the ABS Foundation has implemented initiatives in areas such as humanitarian support, education, healthcare and community development, with the Ramadan outreach serving as one of its key annual interventions.”
The Foundation however noted that volunteers and community leaders in the participating states have already begun coordinating logistics with mosque committees to ensure smooth and orderly distribution as the programme commences during the last 10 days of Ramadan.
The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation also called on Nigerians to use the Ramadan period to pray for peace, unity, and progress for the nation.
