The Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, has congratulated members of the institution’s Muslim community and the entire Muslim Ummah on this year’s Eid el-Fitri festival.
In a statement signed by the University Director of Corporate Affairs, Mr Kunle Akogun, the Vice Chancellor said that the occasion called for celebration as it marked the successful conclusion of the month-long fasting.
Prof. Egbewole, who described the Ramadan fast as an opportunity for personal attitudinal transformation and communal rebirth, urged Muslims to always reflect the lessons learnt during the season in other aspects of their lives.
He added that the essence of the fast is to train and retrain Muslims on discipline, spirituality and observance of corporate social responsibility not just towards their fellow Muslims but also to humanity as a whole.
The Vice Chancellor encouraged them to continue to be faithful, law-abiding, dutiful and generous as they had been doing in the last one month.
The Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law explained that if Muslims and other Nigerians would maintain all the fascinating attitudes they maintained while fasting, Nigeria would regain her lost glory in no distant time.
Prof. Egbewole also assured staff and students of the University of Ilorin of the determination of his Administration to ensure their welfare and wellbeing as he urged them to continue to cooperate with the Management for the benefit of all.
