The statement said the Minister of Interior, Mr Abba Moro, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, urged Nigerians to emulate the exemplary attributes of Islam which are `"love, tolerance and peaceful co-existence amongst the people".

Moro further advised Nigerians, irrespective of their religious beliefs, to use the occasion for sober reflection and pray for the peace, unity and progress of the nation "in its march to nationhood".
