The Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dayo Mobereola, has extended warm felicitations to Muslim faithful across Nigeria and beyond on the occasion of Eid el-Fitr.
In a goodwill message released at the weekend, the NIMASA boss called on Nigerians to embrace the enduring values of compassion, discipline, and service to humanity, describing them as critical pillars for national growth.
The message, conveyed in a statement signed by the agency’s Head of Public Relations, Mr. Osagie Edward, underscored the spiritual significance of the season and its relevance to nation-building.
Mobereola noted that Eid el-Fitr marks the culmination of a period of deep spiritual reflection, sacrifice, and devotion, which should inspire renewed commitment to faith and humanity.
