NSCIA convenes prayer for peace, stability

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) will convene a special national prayer on September 30, 2026, at the Abuja National Mosque Complex. The prayer, led by the President-General of the NSCIA and Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, aims to seek Allah's guidance, protection, peace and blessings for Nigeria and its citizens.

This follows a statement issued by the Council’s Public Affairs Officer, Abbas Jimoh. The prayer will take place from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, and will be followed by the NSCIA's General Assembly on October 1, starting at 10 am, at the same venue. The General Assembly will serve as the highest decision-making organ of the NSCIA, bringing together the Sultan of Sokoto, deputies, the Secretary-General, and representatives of various councils, ministries, and organizations.

The NSCIA emphasizes its commitment to promoting unity, peaceful coexistence, and the stability and progress of Nigeria.
