Sallah: Plateau Distributes N21 million Items To Muslims

The Plateau Government on Thursday distributed assorted items worth N21 million to Muslims for the Eid-El Kabir festivities.
The Commissioner for Water Resources, Mr Idi Waziri, who shared out the items in Jos, said that the gesture was to assist the less privilege and to
boost the spirit of unity amongst all groups.

“The State Government wants to strengthen unity among people of various groups; we want to extend our good will to all groups,’’ Waziri said. The commissioner said that Gov. Jonah Jang had already called on the Muslim faithful to use the festivity to pray for lasting peace for Plateau and Nigeria as a whole.

“The governor has continued to challenge all residents to live in peace and be each other’s keeper; that is the spirit we are promoting,’’ he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the items included 300 rams and thousands of bags of rice. (NAN)
