Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has urged Ghanaians to embrace unity, peace and moral renewal as Muslims across the country celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr following the holy month of Ramadan.

Speaking at Eid prayers at the Forecourt of the State House on Friday, where she joined worshippers of the Ahlus-Sunna Wal Jamaa community, the Vice President highlighted the spiritual significance of Ramadan and the enduring lessons it offers.

“Ramadan is a spiritual journey that nurtures consciousness, strengthens self-discipline, and refines moral character,” she said. She noted that the month is not only a time for fasting but also an opportunity for spiritual growth, fostering discipline, compassion, honesty, and the cultivation of healthy habits.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang also reflected on global and national challenges, emphasising the importance of unity, mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence as essential ingredients for societal progress.

Pointing out the coincidence of Eid and the Ramadan season this year, she described it as a reminder of shared values such as faith, sacrifice, and harmony, urging Ghanaians to strengthen solidarity and collective hope for peace, justice, and development.

She extended warm Eid greetings to the Muslim community, praying for peace, happiness, and divine guidance, while encouraging everyone to carry the spirit of Ramadan throughout the year.

“Eid Mubarak. May God bless us all.”
