Sultan of Ilorin Calls for Government Action on Hardship
The Sultan of Ilorin addressed the pressing economic challenges faced by Nigerians during the grand finale of the centenary celebration of the Az-Zumratul Adabiyyatul Kamaliyyah School of Arabic and Islamic Studies. He acknowledged the concerns regarding the rising cost of living, including food prices and transportation fares, and stated that religious leaders would continue to press the government for relief measures.
His comments followed a communiqué from the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, which he leads, urging the Federal Government to take urgent action to alleviate these burdens. Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele announced a temporary petrol price relief arrangement at NNPC Retail stations, funded from NNPC Retail’s margin.
The Sultan expressed optimism about overcoming the nation’s challenges and called for prayers for political leaders to make beneficial decisions. He also warned youths against being exploited for political violence and emphasized the importance of good character and peaceful coexistence among communities.
