In a gesture marking both Ramadan and the Christian observance of Lent, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has approved the payment of fines and settlement of compensation for over 90 inmates serving sentences for minor offences across the state.
The initiative, according to a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Ahmed Maiyaki, is designed to provide relief to deserving inmates, foster reconciliation, and offer a fresh start, reflecting the moral values highlighted by both sacred seasons.
He urged the beneficiaries to embrace peace, seek forgiveness where necessary, and commit to lives of integrity, obedience to the law, and service to God and society.
The governor also extended warm greetings to Muslims in the state, across Nigeria, and worldwide on the commencement of the holy month of Ramadan, urging citizens to embrace reflection, compassion, and peaceful coexistence.
