Eid-el Kabir Celebration: School slaughters, distributes 90 rams to needy

The Nigeria Tulip International College on Sunday slaughtered and distributed 90 rams to the less privileged members of the Isheri-Olofin Community in Ogun, in celebration of Eid-el Kabir.

NAN reports that NTIC has been engaging in this kind of charity for more than 10 years. The school slaughtered and distributed 80 rams in its Ogun branch during the 2018 Eid-el Kabir.

The Principal of the College, Mr Ercan Yilmaz, said that a similar number of rams or more was also slaughtered and distributed in other zones across the country on Sunday.

Yilmaz said that the beneficiaries of the gesture cut across religions and included orphanages, prisoners, staff of government establishments, mosques, churches and physically challenged people’s homes.

The Chief Imam and Chaplain, Islamic Education and Faith Initiative, Magodo, Imam Abdusemiu Alkilany, thanked the college for sustaining the charity.

According to him, the gesture shows there is no need to segregate as God is one.

Alkilany urged other institutions to emulate NTIC and give back to the society, especially the needy.

Mr Gabriel Ohore, Educator, Chrisland Schools Ltd., also hailed NTIC for the kind gesture, saying that it enabled many financially indigent people to have memorable Eid-el Kabir celebration.

A beneficiary of the charity, Mrs Toma Adamu, who resides in Isheri-Olofin, expressed gratitude to NTIC. (NAN)
