The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has felicitated its Muslim members and the entire Muslim Ummah on the occasion of Eid-el-Fitr, marking the successful completion of the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement on Friday signed by the president of the association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, the association described Eid-el-Fitr as a reminder of the virtues of sacrifice, discipline, compassion, and devotion to Almighty Allah.
The NBA noted that the Ramadan period, observed through fasting, prayer, and acts of charity, reinforces values that align with the ideals of justice, equity, and service to humanity.
“As families and communities gather in celebration, sharing meals, offering prayers, and extending kindness to the less privileged, we urge all Nigerians to embrace the enduring lessons of Ramadan by promoting peace, tolerance, and unity in our nation.
“At a time when our country continues to navigate complex social and economic challenges, the spirit of Eid calls on us all, regardless of faith or background, to renew our commitment to justice, compassion, and nation-building,” the association stated.
The association prayed that the celebration would bring hope, abundant blessings, and lasting peace to every home.
