As Muslims all over the world celebrate the Eid-el-Kabir tomorrow, the Kogi State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Hon Wemi Jones, has enjoined all Muslim faithful to continue to persevere and pray for peace and progress of the Nation and Kogi State in particular.
In his message to felicitate with adherents of the Islamic faith, Hon Wemi Jones said a strict adherence to the teachings of Islam in the areas of love, brotherliness, piousness, peaceful coexistence as well as tolerance will greatly assist the present administration to achieve its stated positive agenda for the people.
According to him “the present challenges facing the country is a passing phase that will soon be over with ongoing government policies and peoples’ cooperation with government.”
The Commissioner said he will continue to ensure that the sound educational policies of Gov. Yahaya Bello are implemented to the fullest towards repositioning the Education Sector of the State.
