The Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Mohammed Matawalle has congratulated all Muslims in the state for the successful completion of the Ramadan fast.

In the statement, the Governor urged all Muslims to mark the upcoming Eid-el-fitri with utmost caution and the fear of God, encouraging them to continue praying for the restoration of peace to the State.
He also commended the multiple and persistent prayers from the clergy and other well-meaning Muslims during the holy month for Allah to bring an end to the long-standing security challenges in the state.
