FITR MESSAGE
The
Plateau State Governor, Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong, has felicitated with the
entire Muslim Ummah in the State and in Nigeria, on the occasion of Eid-el Fitr
celebration, whichis to be observed as
the “festival of breaking the fast” and marks the end of
Ramadan.
Governor
Lalong, urged the Muslim faithful to reflect on the lessons learnt during the
Ramadan period and on the significance of fasting as a religious obligation,
urging them to allow its true meaning reflect deep on their lives and on the
positive impact it will make on the lives of others.

stressed that without the virtues of love and tolerance, religion would make no
meaning and peace and stability would be elusive in the society.

Governor further called on all citizens in the State to live in harmony with
one another and practice their religion in love, truth and in peace.
While
wishing all Muslims a Happy Eid-el Fitr celebration, the Governor also tasked
citizens of the State to continue praying fervently for recovery of Mr.
President and for the peace and unity of Nigeria, adding that the government would
continue to ensure the security of lives and property of all in the State.

festivity is celebrated peacefully in the State. He also urged the Moslem Ummah
to ensure the observance of law and order as always during the celebration so
as not to infringe on the rights of others.
He

commencement of the month of Shawwal.
