Moslems across the country will begin this year's Ramadan fasting from the 20th of this month.
A 27-member committee set up by the National Chief Imam arrived at the date after two weeks of deliberations.
Chairman of the committee, Sheik Musah Abdul Kadir, told delegates attending the 15th National Hilal Conference in Kumasi that the search for the moon should continue if it is not sighted on the 20th of this month.
