While congratulating the Muslim Ummah on the successful completion of this religious obligation and pray that the supplications made to Almighty Allah will be answered, Wike reminded them of the values of compassion, generosity, and unity that lie at the heart of Islam.

The Minister who said, the season was that of solidarity, sharing meals, breaking fasts, and supporting one another in acts of charity and kindness, also urged them not to limit these acts of charity, love, and tolerance to only the holy month but should inculcate the culture into their everyday lives.

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to building a society where every individual is valued and respected, and where peace and harmony prevail.

The former governor of Rivers State said, the spirit of unity and togetherness that characterized the nation’s capital was not only integral to the observance of Ramadan but also resonated deeply with the values of harmony and cohesion that the Federal Capital Territory stands for.

He, therefore, urged the residents to
imbibe the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu which prioritizes the well-being and prosperity of all Nigerians.

He said, “under this noble agenda the FCTA is focusing on infrastructure development, healthcare, education, security, and economic empowerment.

“The progress we have made so far, especially in the areas of security and provision of infrastructure in the road and rail sectors and reforms in the administration of the FCTA, have been recognized and applauded.

“By investing in these key areas, we aim to create a more vibrant and resilient FCT, where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. As we celebrate Eid el-Fitr, I urge all residents to celebrate responsibly and be security-conscious at all times.
