Underscoring the importance of Ramadan in showing love, forming bonds, and strengthening relationships, Founder of AW Network Adebola Williams recently hosted his 9th annual Iftar evening with notable personalities in conjunction with leading flagship TV show Rubbin’ Minds and Knorr brand.
The annual tradition which began in 2015 has, for the last 9 years, aimed to unite personalities across a spectrum of industries and facilitate a lifelong bond between attendees towards nation building. These special events have resulted in evenings of networking and fine dining while reveling in a sense of contentment and community.
Speaking on this annual tradition, Adebola Williams emphasized the importance of overlooking cultural and religious differences while working towards unity.
Addressing the guests, Mr. Williams said, “This is an evening of reflection, prayers and shared humanity with my brothers, sisters, some mentors, associates and those I have just met or acquaintances.”
According to him, “We live in the same country or community, and as long as we co-habit or do business together, we must build bridges that foster love, unity in diversity towards nation-building. It’s bridges like these that help us have a peaceful and prosperous society.”
