The Church of Christ Evangelical and Life Intercessory Ministry in Sabon Tasha, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has distributed grains to over 1,000 underprivileged Muslims and Islamic schools as part of the annual Ramadan outreach.
Speaking after the distribution, the church’s General Overseer, Pastor Dr. Yahaya Buru, emphasized that the initiative promotes peaceful coexistence and religious harmony in the region.
He noted that for nearly two decades, the church has constantly provided food to less privileged Muslims during Ramadan.
“This gesture is also in appreciation of Hajia Ramatu Tijani, a Muslim woman who regularly supports our widows and orphans with food, cash, and clothing during Christian festivities like Christmas, New year, and Easter”, Pastor Buru said.
This year the church procured 30 bags of maize, millet, with plans for further distribution to ensure more underprivileged Muslims can observe Ramadan without hardship.
Beyond food Pastor Buru urged traders to avoid excessive price hikes during the fasting period.
He also mobilized 30 volunteer Pastors and Imams for a week-long awareness campaign, encouraging fair pricing in local markets.
