While felicitating with the Muslim Communities in Ogun State, the State Commandant also advises everyone to continue to support the policies and regulations of the State Government aimed at reducing the spread of the virus by being law abiding and responsive to extant rules as laid down by the government and that the lessons of good neighbourliness, alms giving, love and other good virtues among others learnt during the Ramadan period should also be reflected every other time.
