He called on Muslims to strengthen their relationship with God and extend support to the less privileged, ensuring inclusivity in society.
"Let us all continue to pray fervently for God Almighty to grant our nation unity, peace, and prosperity while overcoming its challenges," Speaker Jatau stated.

"As law-abiding citizens, we must remain committed to constituted authorities while fostering harmony and progress in our state and nation," he added, while wishing all Muslims a joyous and peaceful Sallah celebration.
