The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has felicitated with Muslims on the occasion of 2022 Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
IPMAN’s President, Mr Chinedu Okoronkwo, in a goodwill message on Saturday, said the period was a time for Muslims all over the world to reflect on sacrificing for the benefit of humanity.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Federal Government had declared July 11 and July 12 as public holidays to mark the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
Okoronkwo said: ” On behalf of the National Executive of IPMAN and its Board of Trustees, I want to felicitate with our Muslim brothers and sisters as they mark Eid-el-Kabir.
“This celebration is very significant because it teaches us the importance of making sacrifices as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
“It reinforces the spirit of tolerance and total submission to the will of Allah among others and Nigerian leaders and citizens should learn to follow these virtues.”
He urged the Muslim faithful to continue to pray for the unity and peaceful coexistence of the country ahead of the 2023 General Elections.
Okoronkwo said IPMAN was not unmindful of the current challenges facing the supply and distribution of petroleum products across the country.
He said the marketers were working with the Federal Government and other relevant agencies to ensure that the situation was resolved within the shortest possible time.
