Lawson, in a statement made available on Friday, described Eid-el-Kabir as a significant period that symbolises total submission to the will of Almighty Allah, as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim.
He noted that the celebration also reflects the values of faith, love, devotion, and selflessness, which are essential for promoting peaceful coexistence and national development.
The acting rector said the lessons of the season should inspire members of the institution and Nigerians in general to work towards unity and harmony in society.
According to him, sacrifice and compassion remain critical ingredients for strengthening relationships within the Polytechnic community and the country at large.
