During the flag-off of the outreach, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Rev Dr. Matthew H Kukah encouraged everyone to take advantage of the Outreach because it’s a great privilege for the people of Sokoto.

Thursday evening 31st May, 2018 saw Sokoto Metropolis enveloped by dense sand-laden cloud .The sparse shrubs and trees dotting the Sokoto landscape were shaken to their roots by the attendant scary wind. Roofs shook! The not -quite strong gave way. Human and vehicular traffic stood still. Then,  opened the heavens blessing the thirsty landscape with rainfall. The night , though, dusty was cool and element. 

With gratitude to God almighty, Sokoto Diocese laid to rest one of her illustrious Son, Father and Teacher, Mallam Emmanuel Musa Argungu on Saturday 21st April, 2018 at St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Cemetery Malunfashi.
