The Director General, National Productivity Centre NPC, Dr Nasir Olaitan Raji-Mustapha has described the Eid Kabir celebration as symbolic religious obligation.
In a message to mark the occasion, Dr Raji urged staff of the centre and Nigerians to imbilbe patience and be full of faith in all their doings.
“On behalf of Management and Staff of the Centre, I wish our Muslim brothers and sisters in the Centre a happy Eid-el-Kabir, which comes with significant lessons for mankind.”
“Eid al-Adha has become a symbolic event in human history, following the events that led to the sacrifice by Prophet Ibrahim, who held tenaciously to his faith in God despite his unpleasant circumstances at the time.”
“This symbolic Islamic festival is a reminder to us that, there will always be great rewards when we have abiding faith and patience in trying periods; persistence in prayers, and tenacity in our belief.”
“It also reminds us of the sacrifice we are expected to make not only for spiritual fulfillment but also for the progress of mankind and the development of our Organisation.”
“As we celebrate Eid-el-Kabir today, I urge Staff to continue on the path of spirituality and peaceful coexistence.”
He said.
