Vice Chancellor of the Lagos State University, LASU, Professor Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, has felicitated with Muslim Faithful on the commencement of the Ramadan fast.
Olatunji-Bello said: “My dear colleagues and world-class students welcome to the Holy Month of Ramadan.
As we embark on the journey of this blessed month, I extend warm greetings and heartfelt wishes of Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim brothers and sisters in the Lagos State University community. “
She noted that the 29/30 days of Ramadan is a dedicated period of fasting, prayer, and self-discipline, where Muslim faithful seek to deepen their connection with Allah and draw closer to fellow human beings.
“As we do these, let us remember the values of compassion, empathy, and generosity that lie at the heart of Ramadan.
Let us remember those who are less fortunate and strive to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Let us also embrace the spirit of unity and understanding that Ramadan embodies, even in our differences, so that we can continue to live in peace and oneness. “
The VC urged Muslim Faithful to use this holy month to commit the university, Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole into the hand of the Almighty Allah, so that all enjoy peace and prosperity in their individual and corporate lives.
