10th Ramadan: Emir urges wealthy persons to help poor

The Emir of Zazzau, Mallam Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, has tasked wealthy individuals to assist the needy and the less privileged, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.

The Emir gave the charge during the annual 10th Ramadan breakfast organised at the Emir’s palace in Zaria.

He noted that many people have been affected by the economic crisis and are in dire need of assistance, hence the need for collective efforts to alleviate the hardship.
