Managing Director of the board, Dr. Muhammad S. Khaleel, who led the team, stated through Abubakar A. Ahmad, REMASAB’s Public Relations Officer, that the cleaning exercise aimed to ensure cleanliness in mosques and other public gathering places across the state.
“Our goal is to create a clean and healthy environment for all residents of Kano State,” Dr. Khaleel said. “We believe that clean mosques and public spaces are essential for the well-being of our citizens and for promoting a positive image of our state.”
The cleaning exercise involved a team of REMASAB staff and equipment, who worked tirelessly to sweep and disinfect the mosque premises, remove waste, and tidy up the surrounding areas. The team also distributed cleaning materials and provided guidance on proper waste disposal practices to the mosque authorities.
Abubakar A. Ahmad emphasized that similar exercises would continue in other mosques and public places to fulfill Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s directive on environmental sanitation.
“The governor has made it clear that environmental protection is a top priority for his administration, and we are committed to ensuring that Kano State is clean and beautiful,” Ahmad said.
The Chief Imam of Alfurqan Mosque, Sheikh Abdulrahman, expressed gratitude to Governor Abba and REMASAB officials for the initiative.
“This cleaning exercise has come at a time when we needed it most, especially with the upcoming Eid celebration,” Sheikh Abdulrahman said. “We appreciate the efforts of REMASAB and assure them of our full cooperation in maintaining a clean and healthy environment.”
The congregation of Alfurqan Mosque also welcomed the initiative, noting that it would enhance the overall worship experience and promote a sense of community pride. “A clean mosque is a reflection of our commitment to our faith and our community,” said one of the worshippers. “We thank REMASAB for their efforts and encourage other government agencies to follow suit.”
The cleaning exercise has been praised by residents of Nassarawa GRA and surrounding communities, who commended REMASAB for their proactive approach to environmental sanitation. “This is a welcome development, and we hope it will continue,” said Mrs. Fatima Umar, a resident of the area. “A clean environment is essential for our health and well-being, and we appreciate REMASAB’s efforts in keeping our community clean.”
The event concluded with the presentation of a certificate of appreciation to REMASAB by the Chief Imam of Alfurqan Mosque, in recognition of their efforts in promoting environmental sanitation and cleanliness in the state.
