Executive management and officers of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) have paid a courtesy call on the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, at his residence in Fadama, Accra to observe the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The delegation, made up of Muslim and Christian staff from a cross-section of the petroleum downstream regulator, was led by the Authority’s Chief Executive, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid.
In his remarks, Dr. Abdul-Hamid indicated that the aim was to call on the National Chief Imam to see his health condition, adding that, “We recognise that people like him, it is for the sake of their prayers and intercession for our country that we continue to be an island of peace in all this turbulence around West Africa.”
He said the visit was also to present food items to the National Chief Iman towards the celebration of the Eid-ul- Fitr (the celebration at the end of Ramadan).
The items include bags of rice, tinned tomatoes, tuna chunks, cooking oil, cartoons of brown sugar, ideal milk, and cartons of assorted drinks, milo and boxes of bottled water.
