He congratulated Muslim Ummah both at home and in the Diaspora on this occasion.
Dr. Tunji-Ojo urged the Muslim Ummah and, by extension, Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of patience, sacrifice, and resilience.
The Minister congratulated the Muslim Ummah on this momentous anniversary but urged them to make use of the occasion to pray for long-lasting peace and a more wealthy and equitable country.
