In an effort to ensure that citizens are fully informed about government policies and programs, the Kano State Government has pledged to update Juma’at Mosque Imams on its activities.

The Commissioner explained that the present administration, under Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, considers Islamic teachers and Imams as critical stakeholders in society. He emphasized the government’s respect for them and promised to strengthen the relationship further.

Comrade Ibrahim Waiya stated that the messages conveyed by Imams in their sermons are powerful and can easily influence society, urging them to always use the right statements.

“You are highly respected among community members, and your messages are valued. That is why the government wants to collaborate with you for proper dissemination of information.”

The workshop, themed *”Building a Better Future Together: Understanding and Supporting Government Policies for Societal Development,”* aims to equip clerics with knowledge about government policies.

The Commissioner also urged the Imams to provide the government with advice that would help in developing the state, calling on them to utilize the information gathered at the event in their subsequent sermons.
