The cleric appealed to Nigerians to be mindful of their conduct and utterances and shun every act of hate and obey duly constituted authority.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, in Headquarters 2 Division Ibadan, the host formation of NADCEL 2023, the Deputy Director of Islamic Affairs at the 2 Division, Central Mosque, Colonel Kareem Muhammed harped on the vital role of the
\nNA in maintaining peace and security within and outside the shores of the country, while praying for the repose of the souls of those who paid the supreme prize in the course of safeguarding the sovereignty of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The cleric also described Islam as facets of life that guide both the leadership and followers in order to promote unity.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that professional expertise alone is not sufficient to provide excellent result in an administration, hence the need for troops to be committed, obedient and to eschew all forms of grudges in order to enhance positive productivity. This according to him underscores the need to shun tribalism and religious sentiments for quality administration and operational success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
