In his message, the CAN Chairman rejoiced with the Muslim faithful and prayed that Allah would accept their acts of Ibadah and supplications. He described Ramadan as a time of self-reflection and a renewed commitment to living a life of holiness and peace.
The Eid-el-Fitri festival marks the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan, and the Christian community in Borno State is united in celebrating with their Muslim brothers and sisters. The CAN Chairman expressed his hope that the blessings of God would be upon the Muslim Ummah in Borno State and beyond, now and always.

“Ramadan is a time of self-reflection and a renewed commitment to living a life of holiness and peace. It teaches us the importance of sacrifice, compassion, and generosity towards others, especially the less privileged. “As we mark this important occasion, we must take the opportunity to reflect on the spiritual lessons of Ramadan and the values it embodies, which are love and mutual understanding for a peaceful society.”
