The proponent of the proposed National Commission for the co-ordination and control of the proliferation against small arms, ammunitions, light weapons and pipeline vandalism in Nigeria (NATCOM), Dr. Baba Mohammed, has congratulated fellow Muslim faithful and indeed Nigerians on the celebration of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir festival.
Dr. Mohammed, in a press statement issued in Abuja on Monday, said: “it is a celebration of God’s love and mercy to mankind.”
The NATCOM Bill proponent, who is also the Madaki of Ankpa, noted that the celebration of Eid, as stated in the scriptures, is not merely a fanfare but an admonition to the people to have forbearance and show compassion in every situation.
He called on governments at all levels to be deliberate in initiating measures that will ease the economic hardship, insecurity and other social vices that confront Nigerians.
Dr Mohammed, however, sued for calm, patience and tolerance on the part of citizens, especially in the quest by the Tinubu-led government to put Nigeria in its pride of place.
The NATCOM Bill proponent specially felicitated with President Bola Tinubu, his vice, Kashim Shettima, the leadership of the National Assembly and the secretary to the government of the federation, Senator George Akume. on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir.
Mohammed also greeted the chief of staff to the president, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and the chief of defence staff, General Christopher Musa, expressing confidence that Nigeria shall be great again under President Tinubu.
It will be recalled that the NATCOM Bill being proposed by Dr. Mohammed is in line with ECOWAS convention 2006 and to which Nigeria is a signatory.
