“On behalf of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), I extend my heartfelt felicitations to the residents of the FCT, especially the Muslim Ummah, on the celebration of Eid el Fitr, which signals the end of the holy month of Ramadan,” stated Barr. Wike. “Ramadan is a period of deep spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and an opportunity to draw closer to Almighty Allah (SWT). I pray that the Almighty, in His infinite mercy, accepts all our acts of worship, supplications, and sacrifices during the blessed month and rewards us abundantly with His divine blessings.”

The Minister commended residents for their commitment to supporting the less privileged and fostering community bonds during Ramadan. He emphasized the FCT’s role as the center of national unity and called for continued peace and harmony among residents, irrespective of religious or ethnic differences.[b]

[b]“The FCT is the center of unity of our great nation, and our collective responsibility is to uphold and exhibit that unity at all times. Let us live in peace and harmony, respecting one another irrespective of religious or ethnic differences, and working together for the common good,” Wike added.

He assured residents of the FCTA’s unwavering commitment to infrastructural development, welfare, and security. He called upon residents to pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and all leaders within the FCT, emphasizing the collective effort required to build a prosperous and unified Territory.

Barr Wike also urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to relevant authorities, stressing that security is a collective responsibility. He cautioned against attempts to sow seeds of division or disrupt peace.

“As residents of the nation’s capital, we must all take responsibility for ensuring peace and stability in our communities. I call on you to resist any attempt by individuals or groups seeking to create disharmony within our ranks or disrupt the peace we cherish,” he said. “Security is a collective duty, and I encourage everyone to promptly report any suspicious activities to the relevant authorities. For it is only in an atmosphere of peace that we can all realise our collective and individual dreams. Let us therefore through vigilance and cooperation work to keep our city safe.”

“Once again, I wish you all a happy, peaceful, memorable and blessed Eid-el-Fitr.”
