On Sunday, the CEO of Engineers & Planners Ltd, Ibrahim Mahama dispatched trucks loaded with various food items to Muslim communities in Tamale, Kumasi, and parts of Greater Accra.
The items included 2400 bags of rice, 600 bags of sugar, 200 cartons of milk and 200 boxes of Lipton tea bags.
The food items will be distributed to the Muslim communities in the three cities as part of the business mogul’s yearly ritual of supporting them in their fast.
Fasting in Ramadan involves abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking, and sexual relations from dawn to sunset.
This year, Ramadan commenced on April 2 and will end in a month's time. Ramadan takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad during this month.
