**The celebration of Eid-el-Kabir in Lagos: A moment of reflection and collective action**
Eid-el-Kabir is one of the most important holidays of the year for Muslims across the world. In Lagos, this celebration takes on special meaning, a moment of reflection and collective action for the community. In his message during Eid-el-Kabir, religious leader Sanni stressed the importance of the rapid completion of crucial processes for the interest of the country.
It highlighted the economic challenges facing the country, attributed to cumulative policy errors, a lack of commitment to the public good and a lack of trust between leaders and citizens. This situation calls for a new approach to governance and constant use of public resources in the interest of the majority.
Global crises, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, persistent insecurity and violence in Nigeria, require universal solidarity and empathy. Sanni highlighted the role of religious leaders in promoting corruption, to the detriment of morals and fundamental ethical values.
He called on union leaders to be reasonable in their demands and consider non-monetary measures in favor of the majority of Nigerians who are not part of the formal labor sector.
On this Eid-el-Kabir holiday, Sanni called for personal sacrifices for higher ideals, to demonstrate love and affection towards all. He extended greetings to all Muslims for this celebration and offered prayers for those on pilgrimage and for all governments to act to make life more meaningful for all.
In conclusion, this period of festive celebration should also be a time of collective awareness and positive action towards a better future for all Nigerians.
