The co-chairman of a national interreligious and intercultural body, the Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace (IDFP), Alhaji Kunle Sanni, made the remark, on Wednesday, at a one-day sensitisation programme organised for traders at Bodija Market, Ibadan. According to Alhaji Sanni, the advocacy visit to the traders was imperative because they are vital stakeholders in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic as they have unfettered access to various categories of people. “We believe that everybody, religious groups and market women and men, not just medical practitioners, should be involved in this fight,” he said. At the event, items like face masks, sanitiser, hand-washing soap, handbills and stickers were presented to representatives of the various associations in the market for onward distribution to traders in the market. The Babaloja of Bodija Market, Alhaji Sumaila Jimoh and other leaders and representatives of the different categories of foodstuff sellers in the market attended the event.
