Gov Matawalle To Uphold All Zakkat And Endowment Prescribed Islamic Injunctions



Zamfara State Governor, Hon. Bello Mohammed (Matawalle Maradun), has declared his administration's resolve to uphold all the State Zakkat and endowment prescribed Islamic injunctions.


The governor made this known Monday when he received a report of the committee set up to investigate the lingering dispute between members  and the management of the board.


Governor Matawalle said Zakkat as one of the Islamic pillars must be given all the desired attention for the purpose of upholding the prescribed Islamic injunctions in the Muslim society.


He further said that the Zakkat Board, as one of the key Shariah implementation components that assisted greatly in reducing hardship on the less privileged people in Zamfara state, will not be neglected by his administration. 


He promised to reposition and strengthen all the  values of the  board in order to make it better and more beneficial to the people of the state. 


The governor also thanked the committee members for doing a great job and promised to study the report carefully for the purpose of implementing the recommendations for a better Zamfara state. 


While presenting the report, chairman of the committee who doubles as the Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Mallam Tukur Sani Jangebe, recommended for the immediate dissolution of the board and appointment of new members who he pointed out should be learned in Islamic jurisprudence for the purpose of having a united board that will pursue the core objectives of the present administration. 


The committee also recommended that all government MDA's should always observe strict adherence to their organisation's existing laws and follow due process. 


Jangebe exonerated the two directors that were earlier suspended as the committe did not find them breaching any financial regulations as accused. 


He thanked the governor for finding them worthy of the assignment and assured of their readiness to carry out any other assignment in the future for the development of the state. 


The presentation ceremony was attended by the SSG, Alhaji Bala Bello Maru, Chief of Staff Government House, Col. Bala Mande rtd, Head of Service, Alhaji Kabiru Balarabe, Honourable Commissioners and Special Advisers, among others.
