We join our Muslim colleagues and indeed the entire Muslim Ummah in celebrating the occasion of Eid-El-Maulud Nabiy, the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).
The Holy Prophet exemplified compassion, equity, fairness, and justice for all humanity. These principles are essential for the peace, harmony, and development of any nation. Now more than ever, as Nigeria endures security and economic challenges, we – leaders and followers – must rise to embody these values. As we hold fast to these guiding principles, we send salutations upon the blessed soul of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W), and pray that God renews the fortunes of our dear nation and our people.
Eid Mubarak!
Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN
President,
Nigerian Bar Association
