Omo-Agege Canvasses Strict Observance of COVID-19 Protocols

The Deputy President of the Senate, Ovie Omo-Agege, has canvassed for strict observance of COVID-19 protocols as Muslim faithful celebrate Eid el Fitri in the country.

Omo-Agege in his Sallah message yesterday emphasised the need for careful observance of COVID-19 protocols, noting that while Nigeria has been relatively safe thus far, the world is yet to overcome the pandemic.

He stressed that even with the conclusion of Ramadan fasting, Nigeria and the world need a continuation of the self-control, godliness and generosity towards one another.

While felicitating with Nigerian Muslims as they celebrate Eid-el Fitri, Omo-Agege commended them for their passionate observance of the Ramadan fasting and adherence to holy injunctions.

According to the senator, “I felicitate with all Muslims across the country as they celebrate this year’s Eid-el-Fitri which was begun by the holy Prophet of Islam. It is a special day to express gratitude to the Almighty God for all that we are and all that we have.

“The lessons of this period, including the virtues that the holy month of Ramadan emphasises are worth being sustained towards making our country and indeed the world a better place.

“I, therefore, call on all our Muslim brothers and sisters across Nigeria to continue to reflect on how their spiritual lives and cultivation of human virtues can contribute more towards fostering peace, unity and progress in our dear country.”
