“We are here today to commission a mosque in honour of my late husband for almighty Allah to grant him jannah tul firdous.
“I pray that at the end of life Allah will reunite us in Hannah, that is the ultimate I pray for.
“If I want to describe my husband in one word, I will describe him as a giver. He was a giver to everybody, and in his demise, I told myself that this person that has done so much to every other person, what can I give to him in return, that’s what brought about me building this mosque in his honour.
“He was a giver, a lover, he was my everything, my hero and a husband I could have imagined getting in this life. He was the best father to our children.
Speaking about his late father, Amira, a 9 year old daughter of the deceased said “my father was nice and considerate, he was always there when we needed him and that is why I am glad that we have this mosque here.

Special Adviser to the President on Public Communication and Orientation, Chief Sunday Dare have explained that President Bola Tinubu is determined to promote prosperity by protecting the vulnerable, while eliminating unnecessary financial strain on citizens and ensuring a more efficient revenue collection process.
Dare, in an opinion piece, titled “Tinubu’s People-Centric Tax Reforms and Ndume’s Threat“asserted that President Tinubu meant well for Nigerians as he encouraged people to study the bills and to mobilise support for them to be passed by the National Assembly.
He wrote that “The President’s vision and clear mandate is evident in what the Fiscal policy and tax reforms Committee delivered as recommendations to the government, and became a part of the Economic Stabilisation Bills (ESB) approved by the Federal Executive Council in September, as part of the Accelerated Stability and Advancement Plan (ASAP) of the government.

He said “These Bills seek to provide a consolidated fiscal framework for taxation in Nigeria, a clear and concise legal framework for the fair, consistent and efficient administration of all the tax laws to facilitate ease of tax compliance, reduce tax disputes and optimize revenue, among others.
