Head Of Civil Service Extends Eid-El-Maulud Greetings To Nigerian Muslims

The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, extended her warm wishes to Nigerian Muslims on Monday, marking the occasion of the 2024 Eid-El-Maulud, the celebration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad. In a statement issued by the Head of Public Relations for her office, Eno Olotu, Walson-Jack urged the Muslim community to reflect on and embody the Prophet’s timeless virtues of peace, kindness, humility, and selflessness in their daily lives.

“As we commemorate this day, may the blessings of Eid-El-Maulud illuminate your homes and enrich your lives with love, peace, and prosperity,” Walson-Jack remarked. Her message emphasized the importance of these virtues, not only in religious observance but as guiding principles for harmonious living and meaningful societal contributions. She encouraged Muslims to adopt these values in their interactions with others, promoting a spirit of goodwill and understanding across communities.

Beyond the immediate celebration, Walson-Jack also called on the Muslim Ummah to seize the opportunity presented by this spiritual moment to pray for the nation. She stressed the need for collective prayers for enduring peace, love, and unity, which are essential to Nigeria’s progress. “This is a time for reflection and a call to action for all citizens to contribute to the common goal of building a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria,” she added.

Walson-Jack’s message resonates deeply in the current socio-political landscape, where peace and unity remain critical to overcoming the nation’s challenges. Her call for prayers, alongside action, highlights the importance of both faith and service in addressing Nigeria’s complex issues.

By urging citizens to embody Prophet Muhammad’s virtues, Walson-Jack reminds Nigerians of the power of individual contributions to the collective well-being of the country. Her appeal for peace, unity, and progress through selflessness and humility is not only timely but necessary in these trying times for the nation.

The Eid-El-Maulud message serves as a reminder that spiritual observance can go hand in hand with national development. As Muslims across Nigeria gather to celebrate, Walson-Jack’s call to uphold the Prophet’s values offers a powerful framework for contributing to a peaceful and prosperous society.
