The Acting Customs Area Controller, Ogun I Area Command, Mr Oladapo Afeni, has extended Eid-el-Fitr greetings to Muslim faithful and urged citizens, especially those in border communities, to support security agencies in safeguarding Nigeria’s territorial integrity.
In a message marking the celebration, Mr Afeni described Eid-el-Fitr as a time for national reflection following the completion of Ramadan, a period marked by fasting, prayers, self-discipline, and spiritual renewal.
He noted that the values of sacrifice, compassion, tolerance, and generosity promoted during Ramadan are essential for strengthening national unity and fostering peaceful coexistence.
The Acting Comptroller emphasized the need for continued vigilance and public cooperation to prevent the illegal movement of arms and other contraband across the nation’s borders.
He stressed that national security is a shared responsibility, calling for sustained collaboration between security agencies and residents of border communities to enhance surveillance and intelligence gathering.
Mr Afeni also prayed that the Eid celebration would usher in renewed hope, good health, and prosperity for Nigerians, urging citizens to remain committed to peace, stability, and national development.
