President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerian leaders and citizens to put the public good above personal interests and self aggrandisement in the pursuit of national development.
Tinubu made the call at St. Monica Cathedral of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria LCCN, Jimeta, Yola, during a thanksgiving service held to mark the 70th birthday of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Dr Boss Mustapha.
Represented by the SGF, Senator George Akume, the President urged public officials and citizens to make commitment to public service and the common good a central value.
He said Nigeria needed leaders who would be guided by values beyond personal advancement.
“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.
“Nigeria needs men and women who value what transcends personal interest, but rather a devotion to public service,” Tinubu said.
