First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has called on Nigerians to extend hands of love toward one another to ameliorate the economic challenges faced by ordinary citizens.
She said this yesterday in the State House banquet hall during Iftar (breaking of fast).
The event is with former first ladies of Nigeria, female National Assembly members, wives of national assembly members and other government dignitaries.
The first lady stressed that the administration of President Bola Tinubu was doing all it can to improve the country and make life better for the citizens.
She admonished everyone to take one person at a time and lend a helping hand to such.
The first lady said that the Muslim Ramadan and Christian Lent that coincided this year was ordained by God for the betterment of Nigerians.
She said that the period of fasting is a time of sober reflection for both the Muslim and Christian faithfuls.
“The Muslim umah should continue in the virtues which they exhibited during the Ramadan, and they should always pray for God‘s mercy,” she said.
Earlier, the Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, thanked the first lady for organising the Iftar that brought people together to share in the spirit of the time.
She urged everyone to remember the president and his cabinet members as well as the nation in prayers at all times.
News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that the Vice Chancellor, Azman University, Kano, Prof. Fatima Mukhtar, gave a lecture on the spiritual significance and teachings of Ramadan.
Thereafter, prayers were also offered for President Tinubu and the entire citizens. NAN
