Spurred by the desire to alleviate the sufferings of the masses in his own little way, a philanthropist and Islamic teacher, Dr. (Imam) Ibrahim Abubakar Eleke Kuntu has devised a means of assisting his community to get cheaper food stuffs.
Coming at a time when the nation is grappling with economic challenges and widespread hunger, Dr Kuntu’s efforts at addressing one of the most pressing issues of our time—hunger is not only commendable but a welcome development that has brought relief to many homes.
Renowned for his longstanding dedication to promoting marital harmony and peaceful family coexistence through his insightful teachings, the Islamic teacher has now turned his efforts toward an equally noble cause—the establishment of the As-Shurah Islamic Market.
Kogi Updates reports that the As-Shurah Islamic Market, first of it’s kind in the ancient town, is a subsidized foodstuff market designed to provide affordable essentials to the households in the community.
This initiative is not only a practical response to the growing difficulties faced by many but also a call to action for the wealthy and influential members of the society. Despite not being a man of wealth, his determination to alleviate the suffering of others shines as an exemplary act of compassion and selflessness.
Kogi Updates further reports that this market serves as more than just a place to purchase food at reduced prices; it stands as a symbol of what can be achieved when one is driven by genuine concern for the welfare of others.
This initiative is also a clarion call to those with the means to support such ventures, either by joining him in this endeavor or by replicating this model in other communities.
What makes this initiative even more commendable is that it is coming from a man who is not wealthy by conventional standards. Yet, he has chosen to invest in the well-being of others, using his influence and resources to create a positive impact in his own little way.
No doubt, this philanthropist deserves the heartfelt gratitude of his people for this remarkable contribution, but more importantly is the expectations that this noble venture not only continues to strive but expands to every nook and crannies of the ancient city and even beyond.
