The Minister of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has extended warm felicitations to the Muslim faithful across Nigeria on the occasion of Eid el-Maulud, commemorating the birth of the Prophet Muhammad.
The minister urged Muslims to reflect on the teachings of the Prophet, emphasising love, compassion, and unity, in a statement by her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Nneka Ikem.
“As we celebrate the birth of the Prophet Muhammad, let us remember the importance of living in harmony with one another and promoting peace in our communities.”
Minister Musawa also expressed deep sympathy to the people of Borno State affected by the recent floods, as well as the tragic loss of lives following a boat accident and floods in Zamfara State.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods in Borno and Zamfara states. We call on Nigerians to support the relief efforts and demonstrate the true spirit of unity and solidarity.”
The Ministry of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy reaffirmed its commitment to promoting Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage and creative industries, using the arts to foster national cohesion and social change.
“As we celebrate Eid el-Maulud, let us harness the power of art, culture, and creativity to inspire hope, resilience, and unity among our people,” Musawa said.
