KMA boss joins Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission to commemorate Eid Ul-Adha

The Chief Executive Officer of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Richard Ofori Agyemang-Boadi, popularly known as King Zuba, last Friday joined the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission to celebrate this year’s Eid Ul-Adha at T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School premises.

Addressing the gathering, the Mayor noted that Eid Ul-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, was about “dedication, commitment and love” and therefore, a special day for all believers for which President John Dramani Mahama has taken steps to facilitate the practice of their “beliefs” with convenience and ease.

He said as a result of the Presidential intervention, the Hajj package fee had been adjusted to less than GHC70,000 to help relieve pilgrims of some financial burdens and that an ultra-modern Hajj Village is being constructed to address the “accommodation problem” amongst other challenges, as well as the establishment of the Hajj Task Force  to implement the policies of the Hajj Board.

King Zuba further disclosed the vision of the President to train Muslims, especially females, to become doctors and nurses to cater for female Muslim patients, to help uphold the laws of Islam.

The Mayor further disclosed that the President had taken measures to ensure that all Islamic hospitals and schools in the country are provided with equipment and/or resources required to ensure their effective operations.

As a result, a request by the Islamic Senior High School, at Bantama, for the construction of an Assembly Hall has been granted by the President, who has looked at all documents to that effect.

Richard Ofori Agyemang-Boadi advised that the Eid Ul-Adha should not just be a celebration, but to ensure that its core values – commitment, dedication and love – reflect in the lives of Muslims to facilitate the developmental growth of the nation.
