The visit reinforced the minister’s commitment to working closely with traditional leaders to drive regional progress and stability.

The minister highlighted government interventions benefiting the Muslim community, including H.E. John Dramani Mahama’s introduction of an additional national holiday for Eid celebrations, the reduction of Hajj fares, and lower passport fees. These efforts, he noted, reflect a broader commitment to inclusivity and national cohesion.

To mark the occasion, Hon. Nburidiba extended support to Ndan Yaa and other chiefs by donating an undisclosed number of rice bags to assist in the Eid festivities. His gesture was warmly welcomed as a sign of solidarity and respect for cultural traditions.

Expressing his gratitude, the Overlord of Dagbon commended the minister’s proactive approach, particularly his swift response to recent disturbances in Zabzugu and Wulensi.
