Senate President greets Muslim Ummah on Islamic New Year
(Nigeria) The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has felicitated Muslim
Ummah as they join the rest of the Islamic World in marking the commencement of
the Islamic New Year, 1443 AH.
Lawan says it was appropriate to use the occasion to thank
the Almighty Allah for the privilege He mercifully granted us to witness the
New year.
He said: "This is a privilege for us as individuals and as a
Community of the Faithful and deserves our gratitude to Allah.
"As we begin the New Year, I enjoin us all not to
relent in living in accordance with the injunctions of our Faith and in our
prayers for peace in our country and the world over.
"We should continue to fervently seek the intervention
of Allah in our affairs as we seek end to the challenges facing our country and
time.
"As your Legislature, we will continue to work to make
our country better for all its people and to leave an enduring legacy for
future generations.
"The ninth National Assembly will continue to provide
legislative interventions in line with our Legislative Agenda, which we
carefully developed towards taking our country to the Next Level in its
determined march to greatness and prosperity.
"It is noteworthy that our various committees are
continuing their works despite our annual summer vacation. This will ensure
that reports on issues like the review of the 1999 Constitution are ready for
consideration as soon as plenary resumes after the vacation," Lawan said.
The Senate President reassures Nigerians that the Ninth
Assembly will always strive to meet their expectations.
He wishes fellow Muslims a Happy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.
