“This year, we have added mats and plastic kettles so they could stay at home and pray to God to end the rising problems of insecurity, high inflation, and other problems bedeviling the peace and stability in the country.
While pleading to well-meaning individuals to support the less privileged, the clergyman urged traders to abstain from arbitrary increases in food prices during the holy month of Ramadan.
Mallam Hassan Mohammed, one of the leaders of the Association of People Living with Disabilities in the state expressed his gratitude over the gesture.
“We really appreciate our Christian brothers and sisters because the help they rendered came at a time of need when no one was bothered about us,” he said.
