He said the commencement of Ramadan provided a unique opportunity for Muslims to support the good initiatives and programmes of the current administration in the Oyo NUJ with fervent prayers to Allah for more mercy on its Chairman, Ademola Babalola, members of its executives and all members of the union in Oyo state.
The statement said, “Ramadan is a period to display more kindness to fellow humans no matter their religion, race or gender”.

It said through the prayers and collaborations of members, many laudable feats had been achieved by Ademola Babalola-led administration and this solid foundation must be sustained for further growth and development in the Union.
