The National Orientation Agency has extended warm greetings to the Muslim faithful across the country on the occasion of Eid-ul-Maulud.

Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, the Director General of NOA, in a statement by Bala Musa, Director of Communication and Media , on the celebration of the birth of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), urges Muslims to embrace forgiveness and draw closer to the noble life and teachings of the Prophet, which remain a guide for peaceful and upright living.

Issa-Onilu describes Prophet Muhammad as a true embodiment of unity, peace, and compassion, and urges Muslim faithful to draw lessons from his teachings and traditions by fostering tolerance and promoting national unity.

While calling on all Nigerians to uphold the rule of law and unify for peace and development of the country, the NOA Director General said unity among Nigerians remains a vital weapon in the fight against insecurity, stressing that when citizens stand together and actively support security efforts, the nation is better positioned to overcome violence, restore peace, and build lasting stability.

He prays for peace, unity, and progress across Nigeria, as well as wisdom and strength to guide President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he works to lead the nation toward growth and development.
