President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, for rolling out an inclusive Ramadan and Lenten palliative programme benefiting both Muslim and Christian communities across the state.
The President praised the initiative as a shining example of compassionate leadership and religious harmony, noting that the holy seasons should inspire unity, sacrifice and support for the vulnerable.
Governor Zulum’s intervention, which cuts across faith lines, is designed to cushion economic hardship and ensure that families observe Ramadan and Lent with dignity. The programme provides essential relief materials and targeted support to needy households, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to social welfare.
President Tinubu described the gesture as a model of inclusive governance, urging other leaders to emulate efforts that promote peace, tolerance and shared prosperity.
Observers say the move further strengthens Zulum’s reputation for people-focused policies, particularly in a state rebuilding from years of insurgency, while underscoring the importance of unity in diversity.
