Ramadan: Shari’a Council Seeks Creation Of Feeding Centres For The Vulnerable—-Supreme Council for Shari’a in Nigeria has called on the Federal Government to create community feeding centres for the vulnerable during the forthcoming month of Ramadan.

President of the council, Sheikh Abdulrrasheed Hadiytullah, made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

Hadiytullah also urged clerics to use their respective podiums during Ramadan to advocate for the establishment of an expansive social safety net to provide immediate relief to the poor.

“In this regard, we appeal to the Federal and State Governments to provide immediate relief and succour to the multitude of the disadvantaged against the stifling economic hardship.

“In addition, we call on all governments to also consider organising community feeding for them in as many centres, especially during the time of iftar (breaking of fast),” he said.

The religious leader also enjoined clerics to use the month of Ramadan to preach against engaging in violent protests against the government.

“We earnestly implore our esteemed Ulamah (clerics) to exemplify the highest standard of methodology during their Ramadan Tafseer activities.

“This is in view of the pivotal role of religious leaders in guiding the Muslim Ummah, especially during this sacred time of spiritual reflection and enlightenment.

“We should always remember the prophetic saying that the Ulamah are the successors of the Prophets.

“We, therefore, beseech you to employ a compassionate and inclusive approach to ensure that messages resonate with the diverse audience within the community.

“The Tafseer sessions should serve as platforms to promote unity, tolerance and understanding among followers, emphasising the core values of Islam, such as compassion, justice and kindness,” he said.

Hadiytullah urged Nigerians to strive for dialogue and constructive engagement with governments as means of expressing their concerns.

According to him, Islam encourages Muslims to seek solutions to problems with their leaders only through peaceful means.

He said: “Violence only begets more violence, and it is our duty as responsible citizens and followers of Islam to promote harmony and stability.

“Together, let us channel our grievances through peaceful avenues and foster a culture of tolerance and cooperation for the betterment of our society.”

Hadiytullah stressed the need for governments at all levels to take concrete steps to address incidences of corruption, leakages and wasteful spending.

“Corruption is like a cancer which destroys everything noble and undermines the principles of good governance.

“It is perfectly justified to ask our leaders: why should the ordinary Nigerian be made to bear the brunt of insecurity with trillions being spent on the security agencies without positive result or accountability?

“Why should the ordinary Nigerian suffer difficulties from power failure and its skyrocketing cost, with over 20 billion dollars wasted on power, without positive results or accountability?

“There is no doubt that we cannot reasonably expect solutions to issues bedeviling our lives until our leaders summon the political will to address the issue of corruption, whenever, wherever and whoever is involved,” he said.

Aston Villa Complete Alejandro Garnacho Signing from Chelsea on Season-Long Loan with Mandatory Buy Clause

Aston Villa Complete Alejandro Garnacho Signing from Chelsea on Season-Long Loan with Mandatory Buy Clause—-Unai Emery has landed one of his top transfer targets after Aston Villa reached an agreement with Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho to join on a season-long loan, with a conditional obligation to make the move permanent.

Aston Villa have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign Argentina international Alejandro Garnacho on a season-long loan, with a buy clause that will become mandatory if certain conditions are met. The move is expected to be finalized after the 22-year-old completes the remaining formalities following his medical in Birmingham.

The deal represents a significant show of faith from Villa manager Unai Emery, who has long admired Garnacho and had attempted to sign the winger before his move from Manchester United to Chelsea last summer. Emery is understood to have personally pushed for the transfer, believing he can help the Argentine rediscover the form that made him one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents.

Although structured initially as a loan until the end of the 2026-27 season, the agreement includes a conditional obligation to buy. The exact conditions have not been disclosed publicly, but reports indicate they are linked to performance or appearance targets and are widely expected to be met. Garnacho has already agreed personal terms on a four-year contract that will take effect once the permanent transfer is triggered.

Garnacho’s departure comes just one year after Chelsea signed him from Manchester United on a long-term contract. Despite arriving at Stamford Bridge with high expectations, the winger struggled to establish himself as a regular starter, managing only limited league starts as competition for places intensified under new manager Xabi Alonso. Chelsea’s recent club-record £117 million signing of Morgan Rogers further reduced Garnacho’s prospects of regular first-team football, making a move away increasingly likely.

For Aston Villa, the signing is another statement of intent as the club prepares for a campaign that includes UEFA Champions League football. Emery has built a reputation for revitalizing players whose careers have stalled, and Villa believe Garnacho’s pace, direct running and attacking flair can add a new dimension to their frontline. Club officials are confident the Argentine international still possesses the potential to develop into one of the Premier League’s top wingers under Emery’s guidance.

The transfer also continues a busy summer of business between Aston Villa and Chelsea. It follows Chelsea’s acquisition of Morgan Rogers in a British-record £117 million deal, with Garnacho now heading in the opposite direction as both clubs reshape their squads ahead of the new season. While the financial details of the future permanent transfer remain undisclosed, all parties are confident the move will become permanent once the agreed conditions are fulfilled.
