Our Esteemed ABUAD Muslim Community,
On behalf of our visionary Founder and Chancellor, Aare Afe Emmanuel Babalola, OFR, CON, SAN; amiable wife and the Mother of the University, Yeye Aare Modupe Babalola, FSM, FNIMN, FFPA; and the entire ABUAD community, I extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt felicitations to all our Muslim brothers and sisters on the blessed occasion of Eid al-Adha.
Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is a profound reminder of the virtues of faith, obedience, sacrifice, and compassion. As we commemorate the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), let us seize this period to reflect on the deeper meanings of this sacred celebration by renewing our commitment to selflessness, unity, peace and service to humanity.
At ABUAD, we cherish our diversity and embrace the rich cultural and religious heritage that defines our vibrant academic community. Your contributions to the values and progress of our university are deeply appreciated.
As we mark this special occasion with prayers, feasting, and acts of charity, may your homes be filled with peace, your hearts with gratitude, and your lives with continued blessings and fulfilment.
May this season bring us closer together in spreading the message of oneness, joy, and success.
Eid Mubarak!
With blessings and kind regards,

Prof. E. Smaranda Olarinde, FCArb, FCAI
Vice-Chancellor
Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD)
