Akinlosotu said, “you know, fasting is a time to express our absolute submission to the will of God and our recognition of his supremacy. It is also a time to express solidarity through good deeds and extending our tables to the less privileged. However, It is time to avoid anything that will displease Allah”.
He emphasized that a special prayer should be made for the nation, mostly for the leaders and the youths, as he didn’t leave the state of security of the nation out of his prayer request.
He said, “the country is going through a critical time and it is hard to imagine what the future holds, unless we have peace and put an end to terrorism”.
He said they should remember to pray for the Armed Forces who are doing their best to ensure the citizens are secured, and also the Medical Practitioners and Volunteers that are working hard to save lives.
To cap it all, he said “on behalf of the Nigerian Youth Congress, the coordinating body of the Nigerian youths, I wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters peace and blessings in this holy month of Ramadan, may your Ramadan be blessed and May Allah accept your good deeds as sincerely done for him”

The lawmakers regretted that “the only plan on COVID-19 vaccine for Nigeria is the pledge by Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiative (GAVI) to support 20 per cent of the country’s requirement.”
This support, according to them, would cover only the cost of the treatment without taking care of logistics for distribution and administration.
The legislature added: “Despite the change in the epidemiology trends of the disease, the financial plan developed by the country and World Bank in April 2020 to fund the response to the pandemic is still being implemented without taking due cognisance of the changes by re-allocating the funds to vaccine procurement.”
It noted that failure to administer vaccines in the nation would result in Nigeria’s inability to contain further infections and a possible ban on Nigerians by countries across the world.
