released 500 rams, to be distributed free to
the poor, for the forthcoming Eid El Kabir
celebrations.
The state’s Commissioner for Religious
Affairs, Abdullahi Shinkafi, a professor,
announced this on Saturday in Gusau during
a preaching session.
The commissioner, represented by the
Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Sani
Maradun, added that the government would
distribute 40 cows, also free, to some
selected groups for the same purpose.
According to him, the gesture is to enable
the poor in the state celebrate the festival
with members of their families.
He said both the rams and the cows were
meant to go to the target groups, and
warned those charged with the responsibility
of the distribution to be guided by that.
