Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated people of the state, especially the Muslims, on the new Hijrah Year, 1447 AH.
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq also approved Thursday, the first day of Muharram 1447, as a statewide holiday in commemoration of the new Islamic calendar.
The Governor, in a statement by his Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye, urges the Muslim community to reflect on the significance of the Hijrah in the life of the community and larger human society, calling for renewed commitment to excellent human relations, peaceful coexistence, dialogue, and mutual respect.
According to the Governor, Hijrah teaches personal and collective sacrifice for good causes and abandonment of everything that is antithetical to peace, harmony, and social justice.
He prays that the new Hijrah Year brings goodness and abundance, peace and increased security, enduring happiness, and renewed faith to all families in Kwara State and Nigeria.
