Ramadan: Abdulwahid Islamic Foundation host 11th annual lecture series

The Abdulwahid Islamic Foundation, a faith based group poised to rewrite the narrative of how a perfect society should function, owing to the social vices that now riddled the nation is set to host its 11th Annual Ramadan Lecture & Special Prayers for the Nation on April 25, 2021.

In a jointly issued statement by the General Secretary Mr Razaq Aderibigbe and the President Engr. Ishaq Alabi, the group resolved to host the lecture in a more grand form as the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow such to hold in the previous year.

Slated programmes for the day includes Ramadan Lecture/special prayers for the nation, free medical services and distribution of food items.

“The topic was chosen to guide and admonish parents as one of the core trainers of future leaders or those grooming criminals by the clear neglect of their responsibilities over their wards.

“We want Parents to set out as role models and also come together as a community to uphold common interests, by caring for the indigents in the neighbourhood.

The group notes that the annual Ramadan programme will be preceded by a Free Medical service on Saturday, April 24, 2021 at Agboyi-Ketu LCDA Secretariat, Agboyi Road, Alapere-Ketu, Lagos by 10am.

While the medical programme and other activities supported by Drugfield Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Mayor Dele Oshinowo, the Executive Chairman of Agboyi Ketu LCD and Succour Foundation follows thereafter.

The Annual Ramadan lecture will be held on Sunday April 25, 2021 under the chairmanship of Hon. Yacoob Ekundayo Bush-Alebiosu, A former House of Representative Member and the Otunba Fuwagbuyi of Ijebu Land.

Other Speakers include  Mr. Waheed Ishola, Director, National Orientation Agency, Lagos State, and Mr. Ishaq Lanre-Lawal, Safety and Security Consultant & MD Livewire Ltd.
