The government of Zamfara state has set aside a whopping N1 billion naira to construct mosques and renovate cemeteries.
The Zamfara State government has earmarked over N1 billion for the

of cemeteries and other religious activities in the state for the year
2020.
According to a report by Independent Nigeria,
the state Commissioner of Religious Affairs, Sheikh Tukur Jangebe,
disclosed this while defending the 2020 budget proposal of his ministry
at the state House of Assembly in Gusau on Tuesday.
Jangebe noted that over N300 million from the amount would be used
for Special Ramadan packages for rural dwellers in the upcoming 2020
Ramadan fast. “You know previously in every Ramadan season, the state
government establishes Ramadan feeding centres across the state under
this ministry.
“This time, we are going to restructure the Ramadan feeding
package in the state, we want to reorganise it in such a way that it
will reach the target beneficiaries in the rural communities.

planned to build additional Jumu’at Mosques across the 17 emirates of
the state. “We are going to establish one Islamic education centre in
each of the three senatorial districts in the state.
