The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Os­man Nuhu Sharabutu, has commended President John Dramani Maha­ma for fulfilling his promises of increasing the number of holi­days dedicated to the celebration of Eidul Fitri in the country and the reduction in Hajj fares.

This gesture according to him reflected the true concerns the President had for the Islam­ic faith.

A statement issued from his office said "I wish to thank and commend His Excellency the President, John Dramani Maha­ma, on fulfilling the promise he made to us on additional holiday for Eidul Fitri and the reduction in Hajj fares.

We are grateful and we say "jazaaka llahu khairan"." He said as Muslims prepare towards the celebrations of Eid-ul-Fitr, unity and peace must be their watch word and work towards its attainment across the world.
