The Director General of Bureau of Interfaith, Malam Tahir Umar Tahir, has said that his agency is meant to serve all religions in Kaduna state, irrespective of sects and denominations.
Malam Tahir further said that the Bureau will maintain religious harmony and reinforce the prevailing peaceful co-existence amongst adherents of the two main religions in Kaduna state.
The Director General said that the Bureau welcomes any religious sect, organization or group that wants to collaborate with Kaduna State Government, to bring about physical and human capital development in the state.
The Director General made this known when the secretary of the Nigerian regional office of the International Organisation for Relief, Welfare and Development, Sheikh Al Amin Ahmad Hamza paid him a courtesy call last Tuesday.
Speaking earlier, Sheikh Al Amin disclosed that the International Organisation for Relief, Welfare and Development has built a hospital in Tudun Wada, Kaduna, to cater for patients with cardiac health challenges.
The secretary of the organization further said that patients will be treated free of charge, adding that they are in the process of equipping the hospital which is located along Faskari Road.
According to him, doctors will be brought in from Saudi Arabia and they will run the hospital along with indigenous doctors and medical personnel for two years, before handing it over to Nigerians.
Sheikh Al Amin further disclosed that his organization will build a standard School of Nursing at Rigachukun, near the permanent site of Kaduna State University, so as to train medical personnel.
He said that the International Organisation for Relief, Welfare and Development has been providing humanitarian services to the needy, giving succour to widows and providing relief materials during emergency situations.
