The Commissioner emphasised that Hijrah marks the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, and was considered a significant event in Islamic history.

“As a gesture of respect and solidarity with the Muslim community, we have declared Monday 8th July 2024 a work-free day in the state”, he said.

He also urged all residents to use the occasion to pray for peace, unity, and prosperity in the state and the country as a whole.
