He appealed to all Nigerian Muslims to use the opportunity  to offer prayers for peace, development, and progress of the country.

Minister Gwarzo also enjoined Imams and clerics to use their preaching and Tafsir sessions as a means of emphasising the importance of peaceful coexistence, unity, and harmonious relationships among Nigerians.

The Minister, while expressing concerns over the current security situation and economic hardship in the county, he urged Nigerians to join hands with the Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmad Tinubu with a view to according him all support and cooperation he needs to surmount the lingering problems bedeviling the county.

To this end, Minister Gwarzo, therefore, implored all Muslims ummah to use the Ramadan Fast period to seek Allah’s intervention into the country’s current challenges.
