lagos—IT was lamentations once again, yesterday, as trucks have taken over the entire stretch of the dual carriageway beginning from Mile 2 to Tin Can Port.

The Muslim Congress (TMC) has commended the Lagos State government on its achievements as it celebrates its golden jubilee. At its special Ramadan lecture on Lagos at 50, TMC appraised Lagos performance in the last five decades.

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, today in Maiduguri unveiled a new and more effective distribution plan for delivering relief materials to Internally Displaced Persons in the North-East which departs from the undignified practice of forcing people to queue up for food.

REVERED scholar, Sheikh Daud Adelakun, has said that Muslims are under obligation to shun haram business transaction, quoting from the Quran 2 verse 275 that though Allah allowed trading and business transaction but forbids usury.

RAMADAN should be a time to avoid being wasteful. Some Muslims are unable to distinguish between their needs and luxuries, hence they engage in wasteful spending. Some, at the end of each fasting day, pile-up varieties of food that they cannot consume thereby spending more on what they do not need. If you have more, remember the have-nots. The act of giving is ibadah, and no act of ibadah can be said to be too much.
