The Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji, Ondo State, Dr Ademola Iyanda Ebeloku, has congratulated the Christian community within the institution and across Nigeria on the need to imbibe the virtues of Christ.

While reflecting on this year’s Easter celebration, Dr Ebeloku harped on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as a demonstration of sacrifice, love, and redemption.

The registrar, in a statement he signed personally, noted that the occasion offers believers an opportunity to transcend personal and collective difficulties, deepen their faith, and foster unity both within the polytechnic community and the country at large.

Ebeloku, who stressed the essence of loving one’s neighbour as oneself, emphasised that it is a foundation for sustaining peaceful coexistence and good neighbourliness.

With the call on all staff, students, and the entire polytechnic community to practice the golden principles of Christ in their homes, offices, organisations, and the wider Nigerian society, the registrar appealed to the Christian faithful to use the festive period to build bridges of unity, compassion, and service.

“On behalf of the Governing Council, Academic Board, Management, Staff and Students of Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji, Ondo State, I heartily felicitate and congratulate the entire Christian Community in the institution and across the length and breadth of Nigeria on the occasion of this year’s Easter Celebration.

“As we commemorate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the power of sacrifice, love, and redemption. It is a time to rise above our challenges, strengthen our faith, and embrace unity as a polytechnic community and a nation.

“I encourage all and sundry to continue to abide by the golden rule of Jesus Christ, ‘Love Your Neighbours As Yourself,’ so as to continue to safeguard peaceful coexistence and good neighbourliness in our homes, offices, organisations and nation.”

“On this auspicious occasion, let us build bridges of unity, compassion, and service, while celebrating the festive mood in moderation.”
