VP Bilal agitates for effective utilisation of natural resources – 15th February 2012
Vice-President Dr Mohamed Gharib Bilal has asked state and non-state actors to effectively utilise national resources and their positions for the country’s sustainable development.
He said it had reached a point that “we must use – by any means” all human and natural resources to fight against poverty and economic hardships in the country.
Dr Bilal made the call on Sunday night, when addressing religious representatives, leaders and Muslims from in and outside the country assembled to commemorate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad Milad-un-nabi (s.a.s) hosted by the country delegation of his Highness Prince Aga Khan Shia Imami Ismaili Council.
“Reflecting on fundamentals of religion, Muslims believe that Islam was established to accept Allah. The prophet, who was the messenger of Allah, has inspired many people,” he said.
Dr Bilal advised the believers to support widows, orphans, street boys and protect the environment.
Dr Bilal urged people to be ambassadors by putting forward public interests.
He also advised religious leaders to participate fully in educating religious followers to contribute their ideas and opinions to writing a new constitution.
“We need this constitution because all our rights will be stipulated in it,” he said.
Commemoration of Milad-un-nabi (s.a.s) in Dar es Salaam was also attended by Chief Sheikh Muft Issa Bin Shaaban Simba, who was also awarded due to his contribution to the mosque and to the growth of Islamic faith.
