Representing the governor, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Alhaji Ganiyu Hamzat, remarked that the kindness, prayers, and generosity shown during Ramadan should not cease but should be upheld as ongoing acts of worship.

Let's carry that spirit of kindness with us as we resume our daily activities.” He wished everyone peace, health, and blessings in the coming days.
