“To the Muslim faithful, as you observe the holy month of Ramadan, may this sacred period strengthen your faith and bring abundant blessings to you and your families,” the Rector said.
“In the same vein, to our Christian faithful, as you embark on the Lenten season, may this solemn period deepen your devotion and fill your hearts with hope and grace.”
Dr. Ebeloku emphasized that the polytechnic community, built on diversity and mutual respect, should use the period to reaffirm commitment to peaceful coexistence, moral integrity and collective progress.
He urged staff and students to support one another and contribute positively to the growth of the institution and national development, praying for peace and renewed blessings for all.
The Rector concluded by wishing members of the polytechnic community a spiritually fulfilling Ramadan and a grace-filled Lenten season.
