“Ramadan period is a month of re-awakening of all Muslims to their roles and responsibilities as well as Islam’s perspective on good governance. The month also reminds Muslims of equality.
“Our food bank will deal with the collection of raw food items donated by the well-to-do amongst us and distribute to 5,000 less-privileged to have good food in their respective houses daily.
“Also, we are going to organise Ramadan breakfast for additional 500 Muslims daily in our mosque in Maitama. We solicit public support in this direction to complement.
