As Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid-el-Fitr today, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has urged all Nigerians to embrace the occasion to pray for the restoration of peace and security in their country and communities.
He also hoped that Nigerians would see an end to terrorism, banditry, insurgency, abduction, and other types of violent crime.
He urged Muslims to incorporate Ramadan principles into their daily lives, such as self-control, discipline, sacrifice, persistence, and complete dedication to Almighty Allah’s will.
According to him, “Our dear President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working very hard to secure the country and stabilize the economy. We must give him all the support and cooperation.”
Governor Sani, who wrote his Eid-el-Fitr message on his verified Facebook page, noted that in Kaduna State, “we have not wavered in our determination to degrade criminal elements laying siege to our communities.
“We have forged solid partnerships with federal security forces and strengthened the Kaduna Vigilance Service (KADVS).
“Working with our dear President, the National Security Adviser and the Nigerian Army, we secured the release of our abducted Kuriga school children. We give Almighty Allah all the glory.
“We are making steady progress. We are determined to change the face of Kaduna State. We want to make rural living a pleasurable experience. We are focused on turning Kaduna State into an international business hub: the investors’ choice destination.
“To quicken our pace, we require the total commitment and support of our people, and sustenance of the sense of community built during the Ramadan period. May Almighty Allah be our guide as we continue on this journey of restoration.”
