A Plateau state-based non-governmental organization, Girls Advocacy for Peace Initiative (GAPI), is extending its warmest greetings to Muslims across Nigeria as they celebrate Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan.
“This auspicious occasion presents an opportunity for reflection, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to fostering unity and peace among all faith communities,” said Maryam Mahmud Ibrahim, Executive Director of GAPI, in a press statement.
GAPI, Ms. Ibrahim explained, envisions a society built on peace, health, and opportunity for all. Their mission focuses on empowering vulnerable people to contribute to a peaceful and self-sufficient society.
“As we commemorate this special day, we are reminded of the values of compassion, empathy, and solidarity that Ramadan instills in us,” Ms. Ibrahim said.
“Let us carry forward the lessons of tolerance, understanding, and peaceful coexistence learned during this holy month,” she continued.
“In the spirit of Sallah, GAPI calls upon all residents of Jos to come together in solidarity and harmony. Let us bridge our differences through dialogue, respect, and mutual understanding.”
The statement further urges Nigerians to remember those facing hardship and calls for collective action to build a brighter future.
“On behalf of GAPI, we wish you all a joyous and peaceful Eid al-Fitr. May this day be filled with love, unity, and blessings for everyone,” the statement concluded.
