President Bola Tinubu has praised Borno State Governor Babagana Umara Zulum for launching an inclusive Ramadan and Lenten support programme. He described the initiative as a strong example of compassionate leadership.
According to the President, the gesture promotes religious harmony at a time when many Nigerians face economic hardship. He said such actions show fairness and care for all citizens.
The intervention programme provides food items and other relief materials to vulnerable households across Borno State. Importantly, the support cuts across religious lines.
Muslims observing Ramadan and Christians observing Lent both benefit from the assistance. State officials said the aim is to ease the burden that often comes with fasting periods.
As a result, many families in need have received help during this critical season.
President Tinubu noted that inclusive policies help strengthen national unity. He added that they also promote peaceful coexistence among diverse communities.
Furthermore, he encouraged other political leaders to follow the example set by the Borno State government. He stressed that fairness and equity should guide public service.
Governor Zulum has continued to roll out humanitarian programmes in communities affected by insurgency and displacement. In addition, his administration supports residents facing economic hardship.
Observers say the President’s commendation highlights the value of cross-religious solidarity. They also note that responsive governance plays a key role in promoting stability and social cohesion across Nigeria.
