This was contained in a statement signed by the state’s head of the civil service, Alhaji Hussaini Ali Kila.
According to the statement, Governor Umar A. Namadi advised public servants and the entire people of the state to utilise the one-day break in thanking Allah for a conducive atmosphere and peaceful co-existence and to also pray for the sound execution of the present administration’s policies, programmes, and projects.
