"I commend Governor Nasir Idris for his intervention in making the mosque project beneficial to the people of Zagga and environs," he said.
Imam Usman Sani Zagga, in his maiden Khutbah, praised the three principal actors - Hon. Bello Ka'oje, former Governor Sa'idu Dakingari, and Governor Nasir Idris - for prioritizing religious matters. "I pray to Almighty Allah to bless and guide our esteemed leader, Comrade Nasir Idris, who has introduced Ramadan feeding throughout the state and provided succor to his people," he said.
