SPECIAL SALLAH MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR MALLAM UMAR NAMADI OF JIGAWA STATE
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu,
On this blissful occasion of Eid ul-Kabir, I extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt wishes to the people of Jigawa State and the entire Muslim community around the world. May the blessings of Allah be showered upon you and your loved ones, and may this celebration bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to all.
Eid ul Kabir holds a significant place in the Islamic calendar, reminding us of the story of Prophet Ibrahim's steadfastness and willingness to sacrifice his beloved son as an act of obedience to Allah. This occasion serves as a reminder of the values of selflessness, sacrifice, and devotion that we should emulate in our lives.
As we celebrate this blessed occasion, let us remember the essence of Eid ul Kabir by extending our hands of generosity and kindness to those in need. It is a time to share our blessings with the less fortunate, foster unity, and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood within our communities. Together, we can build a society where no one is left behind and where compassion and empathy prevail.
I commend the people of Jigawa State for their resilience, unity, and commitment to progress. As we celebrate Eid ul-Kabir, let us also reflect on our achievements and the challenges that lie ahead. Together, we will continue to work towards the development and well-being of our state, ensuring that every citizen enjoys the benefits of a prosperous and inclusive society.
Our new administration is making every effort to avert the recurrence of the flood disasters that have been destroying our state for some time now, as another rainy season has arrived. In several flood-prone areas of the state, work is currently being done to avoid a repeat of the calamity this year. The building of bridges, embankments, and dredging of rivers are some of these preventative measures. These are only temporary emergency measures; in the long run, we are committed to finding a lasting solution to this catastrophe.
Finally, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to our traditional and religious leaders, community members, and all those who have contributed to the peace and progress of Jigawa State. Your dedication and commitment are instrumental in creating an environment conducive to growth and development.
May Allah accept our prayers, sacrifices, and acts of worship. May He grant us unity, prosperity, and peace.
Barkanmu da sallah.
Mallam Umar Namadi
Governor, Jigawa State
