A group, People Living with Disability, has appealed to the Federal Government to step down the removal of fuel subsidy in June as is being speculated.
This was contained in a speech delivered yesterday in Ebute Meta, Lagos by the Convener of Kehinde Oshilaja Foundation, Comrade Kehinde Oshilaja, at this year’s Annual Ramadan Lecture with the theme:” The importance of Zakar & Jakar in Ramadan period according to Holy Quran”.
The guest lecturer was Sheik Imam Ibrahim Hassan Olowo, the Chief Imam of Ojikutu Central Mosque, Oyingbo, Lagos.
Oshilaja said: “We humbly think the Federal Government should only remove fuel subsidy after our refineries are fully operational and in perfect state.
“Let me on behalf of all the people living with disabilities appeal to the Federal Government to halt the planned removal of the fuel subsidy as is being speculated, or else millions of my members will be subjected to additional hardship.”
In his sermon, Chief Imam, Ansar Ud Deen Mosque, Oyadiran Estate, Sabo, Yaba, Imam Musa Mustapha, said Zakatul Fitr is different from Sadaqat.
He enjoined Muslims to observe Zakatul Fitr immediately after the Ramadan.
Highlights of the event included prayers for the country, especially President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and others.
