Plateau State In Recession, No Eid-el-fitr Rams, Gifts

The Plateau State Government says it suspended the provision of traditional Eid-el-fitr rams and gifts because of the prevailing economic recession in the country.

Governor Simon Lalong, who stated this on Tuesday, added that he planned to resume the practice as soon  as “we conquer the financial challenges occasioned by economic recession.”

The governor also said his administration had secured 15 hectares of land as a Muslim cemetery in Babale, in the Jos North Local Government Area.

Lalong spoke during a courtesy visit to him by the Muslim Ummah in Plateau State as part of activities marking the celebration of Eid-el-fitr.

The governor pleaded with them to sustain their prayers for the recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari and for the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria.

He said, “May I also use this medium to continue to plead with you to show understanding with government on the current financial hiccups being experienced. The traditional gifts which have not been forthcoming will be addressed soon as we conquer the financial challenges occasioned by economic recession.

“Our pledge to reconsider all these palliatives that we have suspended will take centre stage as our finances improve. Meanwhile, we shall continue to put in place structures that will enhance the economic wellbeing of our people so they can live a meaningful life of economic self-sufficiency.

“The leadership of the Muslim communities in Plateau and the Council of Ulammas have repeatedly reminded government of their need for burial ground, praying ground, the repair of deplorable roads in predominant Muslim neighbourhoods and the encroachment in the Sarduana Memorial College on Zaria Road. I wish to assure you that considerable efforts have been made to address these issues.”

According to him, while efforts were being made to provide the access roads, the Jos South and Barkin Ladi LGAs have completed negotiation for parcels of land in the Dadin Kowa and Kok wards for cemeteries.

“The challenge of finance has hindered the full takeover of the land, but the interest has been secured,” Lalong said.
