As Muslim faithful in the world mark the annual Eid-el-Kabir, TY Buratai Football Academy has sent out congratulatory messages to its patron, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai and Nigerians.

This was contained in a statement signed by President TY Buratai Football Academy Engineer Hassan Muhammad, made available to newsmen in Mecca on Friday July 8, 2022.

"This is yet another golden opportunity to extend warm greetings to our patron, Ambassador Tukur Yusuf Buratai at this special season of sacrifice as exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim," it said.

The academy said the festival of sacrifice reminds its players and staff of the efforts made by Nigeria's former Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen Buratai in empowering talented youth and giving them a chance to excel on the world stage of football.


The academy therefore, wished Buratai and the entire Muslim Umma a happy Eid-el-Fitr, while praying that the festival brings peace and prosperity to Nigeria.
