He enjoined the Muslim Ummah to take advantage of the celebration of the Eidil – Adah, known as the Festival of Sacrifice, to promote peaceful co-existence and pray for an end to insecurity in Nigeria.

“The security of the nation is a civic responsibility of all and should not be perceived erroneously as the exclusive preserve of the Fighting Forces”.The Minister also called for collective resolve to evolve ways to deepen the ethos and ethics of service and sacrifice to the nation at this holy period when Muslims perform sacrificial offerings of rams in supplication to the Almighty Allah.
