• Gov Radda Pledges Support For Traditional Institutions At Sallar Gani Festival In Daura

    Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Radda, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to preserving culture and supporting traditional institutions.

    He gave the assurance on Sunday while attending the annual Sallar Gani Festival in Daura, a centuries-old durbar marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

    Radda noted that his government is working to elevate the festival into an international cultural event and highlighted the recently signed Emirate Council Law, which increased the salaries of district and village heads.

    He praised traditional rulers for their role in fostering peace and stability and commended the Emir of Daura, Umar Faruq Umar, for upholding Hausa heritage.

    The event drew dignitaries, tourists, and indigenes from within and outside Nigeria. Riders on horseback, drummers, and title holders paraded in colorful displays of Daura’s cultural heritage at Kangiwa Square, the climax of the festival known as Hawan Magajiya.

    Sallar Gani, unique to the Daura Emirate — has grown into a major tourist attraction, with visitors converging yearly to witness the fanfare and strengthen social ties.

  • Eid - el Adha : DG NILDS Urges Muslims To Make Sacrifices Attract Allah's Rewards

    The Director General National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies, NILDS, Professor Abubakar Sulaiman has advised Muslims to be guided strictly by the fear of Allah and the tradition of Prophet Muhammad when slaughtering their animals at Eid- el-Adha.

    This is contained in a statement marking the Eid -el- Kabir celebration by Muslims the world over.

    Professor Sulaiman said the spiritual lessons and significance of sacrificing rams should not be lost on the altars of show off, arrogance and motive to oppress one another pointing out that the meat is meant to be shared with those who couldn't afford to buy; Christians and neighbours for their sacrifices to be accepted as an act of worship.

    While congratulating Muslims on this special occasion, the former minister of national planning urged Muslim
    Ummah to pray for God's guidance for Nigerian Leaders at all levels and for the country's socio- economic breakthrough under the president Tinubu Renewed Hope agenda.

  • STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU ON THE OCCASION OF 2025 EID-EL-KABIR

    I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Nigerian Muslims and the global Muslim Ummah as we celebrate this year's Eid-el-Kabir.

    Eid-el-Kabir represents the high point of the sacred first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, a period filled with opportunities for acts of worship and good deeds. It is a time for gratitude to Almighty Allah for His countless mercies upon us as individuals and a nation. While this festival is marked with joy and celebration, its true significance lies much deeper: Eid calls us to reflect on its core values of sacrifice, devotion, and selflessness.

    To truly honour Eid, we must embody these virtues, just as Prophet Ibrahim (AS) exemplified complete submission to Allah's will and as our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has taught us. Let this sacred occasion renew our commitment to these ideals.

    Eid-el-Kabir also reminds us of our responsibilities beyond faith: to show resilience, tolerance, compassion, and dedication to the progress of our beloved country. I reaffirm my commitment to these values and express my deep appreciation for the faith, patience, and perseverance Nigerians show as we implement bold reforms. Together, we have weathered challenging times and are approaching a brighter horizon.

    Though the journey has not been easy, and some doubted our direction, the resilience of public and private sector leaders, along with the steadfast support of most Nigerians, is yielding results. I assure you that the toughest days are behind us. We are entering a new era of renewed hope and prosperity that we promised two years ago.

    We may not yet be where we aspire to be, but I urge all Nigerians not to lose hope. Let us hold on to our faith and persevere. Our reforms are gaining traction, with key economic indicators now moving in a positive direction. Soon, all will feel the benefits.

    The ultimate objective of these reforms is not just to improve statistics but to transform lives and set Nigeria firmly on the path to sustainable development. There are no quick fixes, but we are committed to repairing the foundations of our economy once and for all. Our administration will continue acting in the nation's best interest, ensuring that the gains we are recording translate into improving people's lives.

    We crafted our Renewed Hope Agenda to bring prosperity to every Nigerian, and we remain steadfast in our pursuit of it. As we celebrate today, remember that Eid-el-Kabir enjoins love, compassion, and generosity for all, regardless of faith or background. Let us care for one another's well-being during this season and always.

    In this instance, I recall recent sad developments in our country, particularly the Wednesday, May 28 heavy flooding, which submerged the market town of Mokwa, Niger State, causing deaths and destruction of properties and creating an untold humanitarian crisis. Let us pray for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives and fortitude for their relations. Let us join hands with the government to bring succour to the people of Mokwa.

    Finally, as we observe this Eid, let us continue our prayers for our front-line officers, who risk their lives for our safety and security.

    Let us pray for our leaders at all levels and our country. Let us pray for peace in our tumultuous world of troubles and uncertainties. Let us dedicate this sacred celebration to seeking God's guidance and blessings for our country.

    May those who have more remember those in need, sharing kindness and support as true brothers and sisters. Let the virtues of perseverance, sacrifice, loyalty, faith, and shared humanity bind us closer.

    May the joy and blessings of Eid-ul-Adha multiply in our lives and the life of our great nation. May Almighty Allah accept our worship and devotion as acts of Ibadah, and may His blessings be with us always.
