 Ramadan: Kaduna Church Donates Food Items To Muslims


The Church of Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry in Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, has distributed bags of rice, maize and other food items to Muslims, Tsangaya Islamic schools and some internally displaced persons (IDPs) in preparation for the Ramadan fast.


Leading the distribution at the Kano Road Central Mosque in Kaduna, the church’s General Overseer, Yohanna Buru, said the initiative was aimed at fostering peace and strengthening interfaith harmony in the state.


Buru explained that for over 20 years, the church has supported underprivileged Muslims and Tsangaya schools across five northern states with food supplies to ease the 30-day Ramadan fasting. 


In addition to rice and maize, he said the church donates prayer mats and plastic kettles annually, encouraging beneficiaries to use the period to pray for peace, stability and an end to insecurity and economic hardship in the country.


He added that in response to rising food prices, the church mobilised about 50 volunteer pastors and imams for a seven-day sensitisation campaign to appeal to traders to reduce the cost of food items during Ramadan.


According to him, the ministry also facilitates the release of some Muslim inmates each year so they can observe the fasting period with their families.


Buru acknowledged the support of a Muslim philanthropist, Hajiya Ramatu Tijjani, who he said donates to widows and orphans during Christmas and New Year celebrations, describing the gesture as a demonstration of mutual respect among different faiths. 


He wished Muslims a peaceful Ramadan and called for prayers for unity in the country.


In his remarks, the leader of the Association of Persons with Disabilities in Kaduna State, Mallam Hassan Lawal, commended the church for its continued support and urged wealthy Muslims to assist the less privileged during the fasting period.


Similarly, the state leader of the Visually Impaired Association, Mallam Tukur Zubairu, said the church had consistently provided food grains to members over the years and prayed for divine reward for the organisers.


Speaking on behalf of Tsangaya schools, Imam Ibrahim Musa expressed appreciation for the intervention and called on well-meaning Nigerians to emulate the gesture.


Also commenting, the Murshid of Jama’atu Nasril Islam, Imam Ilyasu, described the initiative as commendable and urged affluent Muslims to fulfil their obligation of giving zakat to the poor, especially during Ramadan.
