President Bola Tinubu on Sunday declared that Nigeria requires patriotic leaders and citizens whose commitment to national development transcends personal interests and self-aggrandisement.
Tinubu, who spoke at St. Monica Cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria, LCCN, Jimeta, Yola, in Adamawa, during a thanksgiving service organised to mark the 70th birthday of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Dr. Boss Mustapha.
Represented by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, the President called on public officials and citizens alike to embrace devotion to the public good as a core value.
In his words: “Nigeria needs men and women who value what transcends personal interest, but rather a devotion to public service.
”Today is first and foremost a day for thanksgiving. We gathered not only to celebrate a passage of seven decades, but to celebrate the faithfulness of God, who has preserved and sustained Boss Mustapha through the various seasons of life.”
Also speaking at the event, Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, described the septuagenarian as a benchmark for public service integrity, while making a case for unity among political leaders in the Middle Belt region.
Similarly, Adamawa Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, represented by his deputy, Prof. Kaletapwa George Farauta, lauded the former SGF for his contributions to nation-building and the steadfastness he has demonstrated in public governance.
