He emphasised that the virtues cultivated during the holy month of Ramadan—such as sacrifice, discipline and compassion—should not be limited to the fasting period but should be sustained in everyday interactions and public life.
According to him, Nigerians must translate these values into actions that foster peace, strengthen social cohesion and drive collective development across the country.
“Eid is not only a time of celebration but also a moment for deep reflection on the values that sustain a stable and harmonious society,” he said.
The NIPSS Director-General expressed optimism that the spirit of Eid would inspire renewed commitment among citizens toward building a stronger and more united nation.
He also prayed that the blessings of the season bring joy, prosperity and a renewed sense of purpose to all Nigerians.
