From Juliana Taiwo-Obalonye, Abuja
President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that he will always be fair to all and that his administration remains committed to advancing the unity of Nigeria, as well as ensuring the welfare and prosperity of all citizens.
In a statement issued by Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President gave the assurance at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Central Mosque in Surulere, Lagos, on Friday, where he joined the Muslim Ummah to observe Jumaat prayers marking the centennial anniversary of the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria (ADS),
He explained that the economic reforms initiated by his government are aimed at establishing a robust and secure foundation for Nigerians today and for generations unborn.
President Tinubu, commended the Society for its service to humanity, contributions to the propagation of the tenets of Islam, and efforts in uplifting the downtrodden.
He implored members of the society to remain committed to their objectives of advancing the education of citizens, as well as promoting the moral and social development of the Muslim Ummah.
Reiterating his commitment to the welfare of all citizens, President Tinubu, who is on a brief Christmas holiday in Lagos, said the recent 50 percent cut in inter-state land transportation fares nationwide, and the payment of N-Power beneficiaries’ backlog of allowances, among other reliefs, are all efforts aimed at alleviating the burden of Nigerians this festive season with much more to be expected in the new year.
“It is instructive that Ansar-Ud-Deen has attained 100 years through a systemic strategy that maintains its mission and vision. This is a testimony to what focused planning can achieve in a society,” Tinubu said.
