The Speaker of Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Aliyu Umar Yusuf has congratulated Muslims across the state and the world at large on the successful completion of this year’s Ramadan fast and the celebration of Eid – el – Fitr.
The Speaker stated this in a press statement signed and made available to journalists by his Chief Press Secretary, Yabagi Mohammed.
The statement quoted the Speaker to have enjoined Muslims and the entire citizens of the state for their continued prayers for sustained security, peace and progress of the state.
He noted that the country currently faces security challenges with increased unslaught on innocent Nigerians by criminal elements in far northern parts of the country, and expressed gratitude to the State government for its commitment to security of lives and property of every citizen.
Rt. Hon. Umar urged the citizens to also use the Eid celebration as a period to remember the less fortunate in the society by reaching out to such category of people within their means in order to reduce classism within the society.
He further used the opportunity to call on celebrants of the Sallah to take all precautionary measures to safeguard their lives and the lives of their loved ones throughout the period and beyond.
The Speaker prayed for continued peace, happiness and prosperity of the citizens and promised that the State legislature would continue to work with all stakeholders to evolve laws for the good of the state.
