The President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), Chief Emeka Obegolu, SAN, PhD, on behalf of the Executive Council and entire membership of the Chamber, extends warm greetings and heartfelt congratulations to the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and around the world as they mark the blessed occasion of Eid al-Adha 2025.

Eid al-Adha, also known as festival of sacrifice is a celebration rooted in faith, sacrifice, and compassion, 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.

This was contained in a statement by Olayemi John-Mensah, ACCI Media & Strategy Officer.

Chief 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.

“As we celebrate this sacred season,” we acknowledge the challenges faced by businesses across the country, especially in 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”, he stated.

The ACCI reaffirms its commitment to supporting an enabling business environment, championing policies that empower SMEs, and fostering 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 potential.

Chief Obegolu, who also doubled as the leader of the Organized 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 present challenges and build a thriving economic future for all,” he added.

The ACCI President wishes all Muslim faithful a peaceful, joyful, and spiritually uplifting Eid celebration. Eid Mubarak!
