Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello has warned shylock
Market men and women to shun profiteering by arbitrary increasing the
prices of their commodities during and after the Ramadan periods.
He
said the special month of Ramadan provides ample opportunity for people
to seek closer ties and blessings of God through sacrifice and piety,
and not by exploiting fellow beings through unjust and ungodly price
increases.
While felicitating with the Muslim ummah across the
state for witnessing yet another Ramadan, Governor Sani Bello described
the period as a period of spiritual intimacy with Allah and urged all
Muslims to renew their faith and loyalty to their Creator.
In a
Statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Malam Jibrin Baba Ndace,
Governor Sani Bello urged Muslims to seek maximum benefits from the
month of Ramadan by imbibing the teachings and exemplary lifestyle of
Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
"Fasting period provides that moment
where Allah grants the wishes of his servants, as such, we must
rededicate ourselves in prayers and asked God to intervene in our quest
for a better life here on earth and hereafter".
The Governor
called on the citizens to pray for greater strength and economic
prosperity of the state and country stressing that, despite passing
through difficult moments, government is working relentlessly to proffer
answers to the nation's numerous challenges.
Governor Sani Bello
also called on well-to-do in the society to extend their goodwill to
the less privileged during this Holy Month and thereafter.
He also urged the Muslim Ummah to pray for quick recovery and safe return of President Buhari.
