Sacrifice by Muslim faithful will inspire govt to do more in fight against COVID-19 – Ganduje
May 24, 2020
Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has extolled Muslim faithful for blending well and observing the Ramadan fast with patience and understanding amid the COVID-19 scourge, saying this sacrifice will encourage the government to exert all possible efforts and available resources to fight the pandemic.
In his Sallah message signed by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, Ganduje said government was aware of the challenges by the unfortunate realities of the coronavirus pandemic where Muslims were caught in between adjusting to a new life of restrictions, social distancing and lockdown on one hand and fulfilling key religious obligations on the other hand.
He also noted that this year, Eid will be observed amid extraordinary circumstances due to the global outbreak of the novel disease not just in Kano, but across the globe, adding that, ‘’the constraints on movement and travel will certainly limit festivities and visits to friends, families and relatives as well as other social interactions which are customary during Sallah celebrations.’’
The governor also noted that the period of the Eid celebration was a clarion call for Nigerians to imbibe the lessons of the season such as selfless service to God and humanity as well as sincere commitment to righteous conducts in private and public life.
