The Muslim Ummah in Plateau State, led by the State Chairman of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), on Wednesday, paid the traditional Eid-el-Kabir Sallah Homage to the Executive Governor of Plateau State at the New Government House in Little Rayfield, Jos.
The congregation, comprising clerics, community leaders, women, youths, and the elderly, expressed gratitude to Governor Mutfwang for his generosity, kindness, and support towards Muslims in the state.
Delivering the Sallah message, Alh. Dr. Haruna Muhammad Sambo, the JNI Chairman and Emir of Wase, conveyed deep appreciation to Governor Mutfwang and the Plateau State Government for their developmental efforts which have benefited the Muslim community and the entire state.
He highlighted the Governor’s commendable initiatives, including the rehabilitation of road networks around masallacin Juma’a, Zololo Junction, Mango street, Delimi Street, Bauchi road and Rikkos main road among several others and support provided for the 2024 Hajj logistics and mobilization.
