Wife of the Lagos State Governor, Dr Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has urged residents to draw lessons from Eid-el-Kabir by embracing values of sacrifice, integrity and peaceful coexistence, saying the future of society depends on the moral foundation laid within families and communities.
Speaking at the 2026 (1447 AH) Eid-ul-Adha celebration organised by the First Family of Lagos State in partnership with the Ministry of Home Affairs at Lagos House, Ikeja, on Sunday, Sanwo-Olu said the significance of the festival extended beyond celebration and should inspire deeper reflection on faith, obedience and service to humanity.
Addressing a gathering of clerics, traditional rulers, public officials, community leaders, women and youth groups, the Lagos First Lady said the occasion provided an opportunity to revisit the example of Prophet Ibrahim, whose willingness to submit to divine instruction remains central to the message of Eid-ul-Adha.
Drawing from the Qur’anic theme selected for the celebration, she urged residents to make righteousness, compassion and humility guiding principles in their daily lives.
