The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Ramadan breaking fast is a tradition at the Aso Rock Villa, the residence of the Presidents of Nigeria since 1999.

The occasion started with the Magrib prayer led by the Chief Imam of the Villa, Malam Abdulwahid Suleiman. The President thereafter leads the guests for the banquet, which normally lasts for an hour before the night prayer of Isha.
