IBADAN — As Muslims worldwide gather today to mark the holy celebration of Eid-el-Kabir, the Chief Executive Officer of the ARA Foundation, Princess Aderonke Rahmat Adedoja, has extended her warmest felicitations to the Muslim Ummah and all Nigerians.
In a powerful statement released on Wednesday morning, May 27, 2026, Princess Adedoja emphasized that this year’s celebration carries a unique and divine significance, as the festival of sacrifice directly coincides with National Children’s Day. She described the rare alignment as a beautiful double blessing for Nigerian families to celebrate faith, harmony, and the joy of the next generation all at once.
Speaking from Ibadan on the spiritual essence of the season, Adedoja, the ARA Foundation CEO urged citizens to embody the core values of obedience, patience, and selflessness. She noted that Eid-el-Kabir is a profound lesson in ultimate submission to the Almighty and a reminder of the willingness to make personal sacrifices and show charity toward the less privileged to pave the way for sustainable peace in our communities.

Shifting her focus to the double celebration, Princess Adedoja noted that celebrating the nation’s youth on the same day as a major festival underscores the ultimate care required to build a safer, brighter environment for them.
She reminded families that as they return from the Eid praying grounds this morning to take it easy, relax, and feast on rice and beef, the day should be filled with love and deliberate happiness for our children.
Concluding her message, Princess Adedoja prayed for an abundance of peace, harmony, and divine favor in every household during this festive period, wishing every Nigerian a blissful, safe, and deeply rewarding celebration.
“Eid Mubarak to the Muslim Ummah, and a very Happy Children’s Day to our beautiful children.”
