Nigerians, especially the Muslims, have been urged to allow the lessons of the Ramadan bring about a positive change in their lives.
The Olu of Lisa kingdom, Oba Nojeemdeen Oladele Odugbemi, stated this at a ceremony during the distribution of bags of rice to thousands of indigenes and residents of Lisa community.
Oba Odugbemi said that the just concluded 30 days Ramadan was a moment for people to beg for forgiveness of sin and chart a new course for societal development.
The Royal father urged all Nigerians to be united and be prayerful so that the country will continue to be one indivisible entity despite the security and economic challenges facing the nation.
He called on the government to as a matter of urgency find a lasting solution to the food crisis as Nigerians are groaning in pains and hunger.
Oba Odugbemi advised the government at all levels to use the new rainy season to re-design techniques and ways to arrest the challenges of food scarcity being experienced in the country.
The monarch also advised the government to be more proactive in its policies and programmes, saying the economic policies must have human face to ease tension.
Oba Odugbemi charged Nigerians to pray fervently and support the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to succeed at revamping the nation’s ailing economy and end the suffering of the downtrodden.
Apart from the rice palliatives distributed to individuals in Lisa community, Oba Odugbemi also gave cash gifts to the elderly people and the vulnerable as well as cash empowerment to market women at Oja Oba Irewolede market in Lisa to boost their trading activities.
The distribution of the bags of rice were also extended to some organisations and security and health personnel in Lisa community.
