President Faure Gnassingbé offered food supplies to Muslims in the Maritime Region and Agou District.
The President of the Republic, Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, offered food supplies to Muslims dwelling in the Maritime Region and Agou District. The donation was handed over to them on 17th August 2011 in Tsévié in Zio District. The Muslim community in the seven Prefectures of the Maritime Region was the target group. The food supplies were made up of 150 50 kg sacks of rice, 100 50 kg sacks of sugar, as well as 150 boxes of condensed milk cans.
The Head of the Muslim Community in Zio District, Mr. Dodo Aboukarim, took delivery of the foodstuffs and entrusted them to the Muslim leaders of each community for fair sharing.
Speaking on the occasion, the Prefect of Zio District, Mr. Déh Komi Banzi, was grateful to the Head of State for this kind gesture. He requested that the supplies be given to the most impoverished Muslims to meet the expectations of President Faure Gnassingbé.
On behalf of the Muslim community in the Maritime Region, Mr. Dodo Aboukarim expressed his heartfelt thanks to the President of the Republic for the gift, which he stressed would sustain the Muslims during their fast.
In the District of Agou, the underprivileged Muslims also benefited from the Head of State's gift on the very same 17th August. The same supplies were handed over to them at Agou Gadzépé.
In his address, the Prefect of Agou, Mr. Kokou Nounyava, recalled President Faure Gnassingbé's concern for supporting the Muhammad followers to observe the Ramadan fast in good conditions. He called upon Imam Ouro Kaza Aliou and his collaborators for the fair distribution of the supplies.
On behalf of the Muslims in Agou District, the Imam besought God to shower the Head of State and the entire Togolese people with blessings.
