• Calls for modest celebrations in the face of second wave of coronavirus
Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Harmony Holdings Limited, Mallam Abdullahi Abdulmajeed has felicitated with the Christian faithful in Kwara State, Nigeria and the world over on the occasion of Christmas and New Year festivities.
He congratuled them upon witnessing another eventful celebrations, noting it is a moment to reflect on the tremendous blessings of God on us during the year, particularly, the gift of life.
He admonished Kwarans and Nigerians in general to rededicate themselves to the service of God and humanity .
The Harmony Holdings GMD/CEO charged the Christians to take the moment which heralds the birth of Jesus Christ to recommit themselves to his teachings, virtues and legacies, while also suing for modest celebrations in the face of the second wave of the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
His message reads: “On behalf of Harmony Holdings Limited, I extend greetings to the Christian faithful on the joyous occasion of Christmas and New Year celebrations. I particularly felicitate with Christian staff members of Harmony Holdings Limited and her subsidiaries. I charge all Christians to recommit themselves to the teachings and practice of Jesus Christ which border largely on love, sacrifice, honesty and hardwork.
“However, in celebrating, our Christian brethren should bear in mind that the deadly coronavirus disease is still with us. The second wave in Nigeria has recently been announced by the Federal Government and the Kwara State government has issued compliance protocols to curb its spread. Therefore, they should not loose guard and try as much as possible to adhere to the safety protocols so as to reduce the spread of the novel virus. It is my prayer that our heart desires would be granted in the new year and it would be better than the year 2020 and the previous years. I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”
Abdulmajeed also urged everyone to be vigilant and security conscious as some criminal elements prey on the festive mood to mastermind their evil machinations, while calling on governments at all levels to beef up security to ensure safety of lives and property during the season.
He assured members of the public that Harmony Holdings Limited will continue to consolidate on the gains it recorded in 2020 despite the challenges occasioned by the coronavirus pandemic, saying that 2021 is the year HHL and her subsidiaries would stand firmly on their feet to exceed all expectations.
