Abuja, June 16, 2024 (NAN) Mr Emeka Obegolu, the President, Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), has felicitated Muslim faithful on the occasion of the 2024 Eid-el Kabir celebration.
Obegolu urged Muslim faithful to use the season to uphold the country in prayers for economic development, peace, and unity.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Eid is a significant feast of sacrifice and the most important celebration in the Muslim calendar.
It celebrates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ishmael, in submission to Allah’s command before he was stopped by Allah.
Obegolu said that the festival was a season that signified joy, peace, and prosperity.
“As we keep praying for the country, God will help us to surmount our weaknesses and build a great nation that will be the envy of other nations and attract investors,” Obegolu said.
He urged Nigerians to shun issues that could cause religious disharmony and violence, urging all to work together in unity.
He also called on Nigerians to keep faith in the country and intensify prayers, while hoping that government would overcome the current challenges. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
