Mufti Muhammad Kadala, representing the leadership of Masjid Swaleh in Bombo, thanked the bank for the “timely support.”
“The donated animals will go a long way in ensuring that many families can celebrate with joy,” Kadala said.
Lukyamuzi concluded by wishing all Muslims joyous Eid al-Adha celebrations and reiterated PostBank’s commitment to fostering prosperity across Uganda.
