Zulum
… Reaffirms Commitment to Safety and Security
Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Muslims in the state on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.
A statement from Dauda Iliya, the spokesperson to the Governor, said Zulum who is currently in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, for the Lesser Hajj, described the month of Ramadan as a time of Allah’s boundless mercy that strengthens the spiritual well-being of the faithful.
The governor urged Muslims to embrace the spirit of sacrifice, righteousness, and charity, particularly in helping those in need.
He also commended the Muslim faithful in Borno for their unwavering prayers, especially during the plausible days of the Holy Month.
“I would like to extend my best wishes to Muslims in the state on the successful conclusion of the month-long Ramadan fast. The essence of the Holy Month lies in spiritual rebirth which we have all committed ourselves to through acts of worship,” Governor Zulum stated.
He further expressed his hope that this joyous occasion would bring continued prosperity and development to Borno, the North East region, and the entire country.
“Let us not relent in our prayers beyond Ramadan, as we seek lasting peace, prosperity and enhanced development for our state,” he added.
The statement said, Zulum reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to prioritising the security, safety, and well-being of the people of the state as reflected in the recent distribution of operational vehicles and motorcycles to security agencies to bolster surveillance and maintain law and order throughout the state.
“I assure the good people of Borno that my administration will continue to invest in the security sector, rebuild communities, resettle internally displaced persons and refugees, and provide livelihoods for the betterment of all our citizens,” Zulum emphasised while urging the people of Borno to remain vigilant and to cooperate with security forces in their collective efforts to rid the state of insurgency and other criminal activities.
