The President of Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria Association (PSN) has congratulated all Muslims on the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.

The President of PSN Pharm Professor Cyril Odianose Usifoh in a statement on behalf of the entire pharmacists in Nigeria, reminded all Muslims of the significance of the occasion, especially about the virtues of love, peace, good neighbourliness as emphasised by the Holy prophet.

“In times like this, all Nigerians irrespective of their affiliations must strive to promote good neighbourliness and the ability to rise above ethnic, religious and political sentiments to work for the collective good of the nation.

“I like to use this unique opportunity to call on all leaders especially in this period of celebrations, to preach peace and unity among Nigerians because both Islam and Christianity preach peace.

As opinion leaders let us use our positions to influence positive disposition towards ending chaos in our country.

No nation can achieve greatness in an atmosphere of crisis and unrest”,

“However, as we celebrate, we should not forget the lessons learnt, to wit, the spirit of piety, alms-giving, of compassion and love for fellow men.

“We remember, as always, our country this season and I enjoin the Ummah to continue to make supplications to Allah to heal the ills of the nation and favour us with peace and progress.

“I wish the Muslim Ummah happy Eid el-Fitri”
