The Zamfara State government has earmarked over N1 billion for the construction of Jumu’at Mosques, Ramadan welfare package and renovation of cemeteries and other religious activities in the state for the year 2020.

The state Commissioner of Religious Affairs, Sheikh Tukur Jangebe, disclosed this while defending the 2020 budget proposal of his ministry at the state House of Assembly in Gusau on Tuesday.

Jangebe noted that over N300 million from the amount would be used for Special Ramadan packages for rural dwellers in the 2020 Ramadan fast. “You know previously in every Ramadan season, the state government establishes Ramadan feeding centres across the state under this ministry.

“This time, we are going to restructure the Ramadan feeding package in the state, we want to reorganise it in such a way that it will reach the target beneficiaries in the rural communities. “We plan to provide grains, essential commodities and cash to various categories of needy instead of Ramadan feeding centers”, the commissioner said.

According to him, under the 2020 budget proposal, the ministry planned to build additional Jumu’at Mosques across the 17 emirates of the state. “We are going to establish one Islamic education centre in each of the three senatorial districts in the state.

Condemn what is wrong, don't try to bring another problem.
That's exactly how most of the people In government reason and make our problems keep compounding.

The Religion is only bring into these mess to deceive the masses that their 1billion will not be eaten by few in power.
The Religion is just a tool now in the hands of men.

Yet, their Mini Mallams are all over the Expressways with their basket, extorting people in tha name of Fisabilallah to renovate a central mosque....

The money will be gotten from the south to build mosques in the north. Irony of life

Which way Nigeria

Zamfara, 1 BILLION for renovation of cemeteries?!

It is not a coincidence that they come last when we list the states of Nigeria Alphabetically!

We have useless Rulers I swear! These guys no just get brain

Perhaps if we allow the north to develop their region using their farm produce, they will make judicious use of their money.

Some piipu have bin indirectly settled

Misplaced priority!!!
Considering the circumstances that surrounded Mattawalle’s ascendancy to power, one would think he’d do things differently in that state. Lo n behold, it’s still the same old story (just like the days of Yerima and Yari) as ever
