The NBA President, Mr Yakubu Maikyau (SAN), said this in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Mr Habeeb Lawal, in Lagos.
Maikyau urged Muslims to use the occasion to pray for a peaceful country.
The president, who noted that the Eid marked the end of the fasting period for the Muslims, urged the faithful to ensure that the teachings of the period should not be forgotten.
“The NBA President and the National Executive Committee of the NBA felicitates the Muslim Ummah, particularly Muslim lawyers and members of the Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria.
“This Eid is an instructive celebration, and the Ramadan teachings of perseverance, discipline, generosity, sacrifice, piety, and humility should not be lost even after Ramadan.
“May these virtues make us better individuals, conscientious professionals, and more patriotic citizens as we contribute our quota to making Nigeria a more prosperous and peaceful nation.
“Eid Mubarak”, he said.
