An Ilorin-based Non-Governmental Organisation, the Pious Muslim Women has congratulated all Nigerian Muslims on this year’s holy month of Ramadan. In a statement signed by the founder of the group, Dr Hamdalat Yusuf, the group noted that Ramadan is one of Allah’s special favours for humanity and for which humanity can hardly express sufficient appreciation. “We members of the Pious Muslim Women therefore enjoin Muslims worldwide to abide by the scripturally prescribed tenets of fasting during Ramadan so we can all reap the benefits” the group said as part of the group’s appreciation to Allah, it has therefore announced its decision to feed about 2000 Muslims across nine states during this year’s Ramadan fast .
The founder of the NGO, Dr. Hamdalat Yusuf, said that this is the sixth in the series since 2014 when the group was established. According the Dr. Yusuf, “Every year, we organize our Ramadan Feeding Programme. It is one of our many programmes aimed at benefiting the vulnerable in the society. Our Ramadan Feeding programme is a succor to widows, orphans and indigent Muslims in our community. She added that “We cover the major towns of nine states in Nigeria in which most of our members reside. The states are Kwara, Lagos, Osun, Ogun, Oyo, Kaduna, Kano, Niger and Rivers States”.
