The Managing Director, of Jos Electricity Distribution Plc, Engr Abdu Bello Mohammed has charged staff to honour God by being His ambassadors in all ramifications.

Engr Mohammed who gave the charge yesterday during Iftar (breaking of fast) before Maghrib prayers said that he was very happy breaking the Fasting with his Christian brethren.

In a statement by the Dr Friday Adakole Elijah Head, Corporate Communications of JED, the Managing Director who preached religious tolerance amongst staff said that all human beings were created by one God and as a result should operate as brothers and sisters.

While commending the organizers of the event, the Managing Director explained that “We are all from the same God. All of us are from Adam and Eve. Nevertheless, God decided to create us separately so that we can live together, to partner together until the end of time”.

He prayed for the well-being of the staff and the company saying, “May God Almighty support us to become the best company in the country”.

He therefore urged staff to exhibit more commitment that could extricate the company from its current financial quagmire and catapult it to the citadel of corporate growth.

In his words, “JED Plc is a big company that can accommodate all of us. We should be committed to it. We should endeavour to move the company to a greater height”.

Earlier, the leader of the organizers, Engr Hamisu Ishak Usman explained that the event was put together in the spirit of Rahamadam which is anchored on mutual understanding, love, and peaceful co-existence by some Muslim staffers of Jos Electricity Distribution Plc at the Headquarters.

In his remarks, the Head, Regional Operations, Engr John Emeruwa appreciated the Managing Director for his leadership acumen saying, “I have worked with several Managing Directors but I have not seen this kind of event in the company here before. What that means is that our MD is a good man. May God continue to bless him”.

The event which was the first of its kind in the company saw both the Muslims and their Christian counterparts breaking the fasting together at the company’s premises at about 6.30 pm (yesterday).
