In his remarks, the Chairman of the Zakkat Collection, Distribution, and Endowment Board, Sheikh Ahmad Ibn Umar Kanoma, emphasized that the board is dedicated to supporting every less privileged person in the state in various ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sheikh Ahmad Kanoma appealed to wealthy individuals to contribute their Zakkat to the Board, ensuring it reaches those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also highlighted the significance of feeding others during Ramadan, stressing that the benefits of such actions cannot be overemphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chairman assured that any Zakkat presented to the Board would be distributed directly to those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also Speaking, the Chairman of Maru Local Government, Alhaji Mohammed Bello Jabaka, underscored the importance of embracing the gesture of supporting the needy, particularly in Zamfara State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alhaji Mohammed Jabaka reiterated that giving Zakkat is a duty for those who are able, as instructed by Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also called on wealthy individuals to adopt the good policies of Governor Dauda Lawal, emphasizing for timely Zakkat distribution for the benefit of the less privileged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the Wife of the Zamfara State Governor, Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal, described the event as a true expression of love, generosity, and care for one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ramadan is a time for reflection, self-discipline, and, most importantly, compassion. It teaches us patience, humility, and gratitude, reminding us that wealth and blessings are gifts from Allah (SWT), entrusted to us to uplift those who are less fortunate,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hajiya Huriyya added that the initiative was not just an act of charity but a fulfillment of one of Islam’s greatest pillars, which is Zakkat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Zakkat is not merely about giving; it is about purifying our wealth, fostering unity, and ensuring no member of our society is left behind. It strengthens community bonds and ensures that even the most vulnerable can experience compassion,” she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hajiya Huriyya Dauda Lawal also expressed her appreciation to the Chairman of the Zakkat and Endowment Board, Sheikh Ahmad Bin Umar Kanoma, the Executive Secretary, Malam Habibu Balarabe Muhammad Zawiyya, and the entire staff for their dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Your commitment to ensuring the Board fulfills its responsibilities is truly commendable. We recognize and appreciate your hard work, and we pray that Allah (SWT) continues to bless and guide you in all your efforts.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As we embrace the spirit of Ramadan, let us all use this opportunity to practice kindness, generosity, and gratitude\u2014not just during this blessed month but throughout our lives. May we continue to uplift one another and build a Zamfara where no one is left behind.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
