Some Imams of Juma’at mosques in Bauchi State have appealed to the state government to introduce a monthly allowance to support their welfare and religious duties.
The clerics also proposed the adoption of a unified Friday sermon across mosques, noting that it would enhance coordinated messaging on critical societal and religious issues.
The calls were made during an engagement organised by the Bauchi State Ministry of Religious Affairs and Societal Reorientation with Imams in the Bauchi metropolis.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Imam Babangida Sulaiman Jahun said the proposed allowance would help address some of the clerics’ basic needs, enabling them to focus more effectively on their responsibilities.
Other contributors, including Sheikh Danazumi Musa Tafawa Balewa, Malam Ahmad Tijjani Sheikh Dahiru, and Malam Sagir Adamu, urged Muslims to remain God-fearing, uphold moral values, and engage in righteous conduct.
In their remarks, the Commissioner for Religious Affairs and Societal Reorientation, Engineer Muhammad Binni Abdulkadir, alongside the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Religious Affairs, Alaramma Al-Aminu Maisule Zirami, called on Imams to sustain prayers for peace and stability in the state, particularly as the 2027 general elections approach.
