I send my warmest felicitations to the Nigerian Muslim Ummah on the occasion of this year’s Eid El-Fitre celebrations.
H.E,Chief Timipre Sylva
Honourable Minister Of State For Petroleum Resources, Nigeria.
It is relieving to know that this very important celebration, one that is fundamentally hinged on gratitude, happiness for all that has been afforded us, is coming at a time when a pandemic is attempting to dampen our resolve.
Against a backdrop of the COVID-19, I am extremely happy this year’s Eid is shining forth with all the positivity it entails. It is a bright spot and a moment of national comfort too.
This auspicious season, beyond the festivities, can be a time for us all to renew those positive virtues that defines us as a people: love for country, moral consistency, tolerance, sincerity and the spirit of sacrifice.
I thank our Muslim brothers and sisters for the just concluded fasting and prayers, I consider it an act of patriotism as our country has always, and will always be, a recipient of grace and love.
Eid Mubarak, Nigeria.
Chief Timipre Sylva
Honourable Minister Of State For Petroleum Resources, Nigeria.
