In the spirit of Eid Al-Fitri celebrations, the Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mallam Laren Onilu has called on Nigerians to pray for peace and imbibe the virtues of selflessness, patriotism, sacrifice and good neighbourliness towards all.
Mr. Onilu made the call in an Eid Al-Fitr felicitation message to the Muslim faithful at the end of the month of Ramadan.
He stressed that the lessons of the holy month, if imbibed, will ensure peaceful coexistence, Patriotism and national development in Nigeria.
” Eid-el Fitr is an opportunity to demonstrate and entrench the virtues of patience, self-control, and sobriety taught by Ramadan, Ramadan is a month-long religious obligation with far longer social and national benefits”.
According to NOA Boss, there is an urgent need for Nigerians, to show patriotism, love and affection toward others as Eid Al-Fitr demands, which in turn would avert anarchy and guarantee sustainable development in the country.
While wishing the Muslim Umma a rewarding Eid Al-Fitr the NOA Director General, also urged the Ummah to remain true to their civic responsibilities and maintain support for government towards fulfilling its obligations
