He explained that the Islam admonished Muslims to be peace loving and expressed gratitude to Allah for making it possible for the people of Fise to commemorate the Eid-ul-Adha in peace and in good health.

Mr Kabore advised Ghanaian youth to be law-abiding and focus on promoting righteousness wherever they found themselves.

Eschewing laziness and immoral behaviour that had the tendency of impedingprogress in life, he stressed, was very necessary, adding that everyone had roles to play towards the development of the country.
