Kano state government
has declared Tuesday, October 4th as Public Holiday to mark the beginning of
the new Islamic calendar 1438 A.H. The Islamic New Year is on the first day of
Muharram, the first month in the lunar Islamic calendar.
The state government had on Friday, 30th September, 2016
organized a prayer session at the Government House Mosque in Kano, to usher in the
new Islamic year, which coincided with activities marking the nation’s 56th
anniversary celebration.
In the same vein, the
state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, accompanied by top government
officials, visited some hospitals in the state capital to show sympathy with
the sick and to prayer for their speedy recuperation, in line with Islamic
etiquette.
Governor Ganduje urges Muslims to use the period of the
holiday, especially the blessed days of the 9th and 10th of the month of
Muharram to ease the socio – economic challenges facing the country and to
strengthen our leaders to steer it to greater heights.
