Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the Nigerian President, has called upon citizens, especially those with means, to use the holy month of Ramadan for reflection and support for the less fortunate. Speaking at a Ramadan lecture in Surulere, Lagos, he highlighted that the observance of Ramadan is not only about fasting and prayer but also about embodying compassion and responsibility towards one’s community. Gbajabiamila's remarks stress the importance of wealth as a means to uplift others, particularly during this sacred time.

Emphasizing the significant impact of leadership, Gbajabiamila stated, 'Ramadan reminds us that leadership is a trust and wealth is a responsibility.' His address, delivered in his absence by his wife, Mrs. Salamot Gbajabiamila, underscored the necessity for leaders to implement policies that yield tangible benefits for the populace. These sentiments are particularly crucial in the context of Nigeria, where many citizens continue to face economic challenges.

Furthermore, the Chief of Staff pointed out that good governance must result in measurable improvements for ordinary Nigerians. He called for governmental strategies that extend beyond theoretical designs and translate into real-world advancements in quality of life. This call to action during Ramadan seeks to inspire a sense of duty and generosity, fostering a community spirit that aligns with the values of the holy month.
