President, Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry, ACCI, Chief Emeka Obegolu, (SAN) has congratulated the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and around the world as they mark the Eid-el-Kabir festival.
Eid-el-Kabir, also known as the festival of sacrifice, is a celebration rooted in faith, sacrifice and compassion. It serves as a powerful reminder of the values that promote unity, generosity and perseverance, principles that also underpin our collective commitment to national development and economic prosperity.
Obegolu commended the Muslim community for their unwavering spiritual dedication and their continuous contributions to peace, commerce and nation-building.
He noted that the business community, particularly Muslim entrepreneurs and professionals, continue to play a pivotal role in strengthening Nigeria’s economy through innovation, resilience and job creation.
According to him, “As we celebrate this sacred season, we acknowledge the challenges faced by businesses across the country, especially in the light of global economic shifts and domestic fiscal realities. Yet, we also celebrate the remarkable perseverance of Nigerian entrepreneurs who, despite these odds, continue to uphold the spirit of enterprise, service and community.
ACCI reaffirmed its commitment to support an enabling business environment, championing policies that empower SMEs and foster partnerships that promote inclusive economic growth. The Chamber remains a steadfast advocate for collaboration between the public and private sectors in order to unlock Nigeria’s full economic potentials.
The president, who also doubled as the leader of the Organised Private Sector, OPS, in the Federal Capital Territory and its environs, urged all Nigerians to use the occasion of Eid to reflect on the virtues of selflessness, charity and mutual respect, and to continue working towards a more united and prosperous nation.
“We at ACCI believe that through shared values and sustained cooperation, we can overcome the present challenges and build a thriving economic future for all,” he added.
