Gov. Zulum congratulates muslim Ummah on the commencement of Ramadan fast
Borno State Governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, has congratulated the Muslim Ummah on the commencement of the Ramadan fast for the year 1446 AH.
Ramadan which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam is a time of spiritual renewal, self-discipline, charity, and acts of kindness towards humanity.
In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media, Dauda Iliya, Governor Zulum described the holy month as a period for deep sober reflection, patience and dedicated community service.
The governor noted that this year’s Ramadan fast is coming at a time when the state continues to experience sustainable peace.
He highlighted that this stability has enabled farmers in resettled communities to actively engage in agricultural activities, resulting in a bumper harvest.

Reaffirming his administration’s commitment to lasting peace and economic recovery, Governor Zulum pledged his administration’s continued support for the military and other security agencies.
He also reiterated the administration’s commitment to enhancing agricultural productivity, particularly through irrigation farming and livestock development, while also prioritising technical and vocational education to improve livelihoods and accelerate the state’s recovery from the dislocation of 16 years of insurgency.
“I congratulate the Muslim Ummah for witnessing the holy month of Ramadan. I reaffirm my dedication to implementing people-centred and community-oriented policies and programmes that will fast-track our post-insurgency recovery efforts,” Governor Zulum stated.
He urged the Muslim faithful to use the month-long Ramadan fast to pray for enduring peace in Borno State and across the country, as well as for improved economic growth and prosperity.
