By Joel Ajayi

In the spirit of inclusivity and interfaith harmony, the Director-General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), Rt. Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub, has urged Nigerians to embrace unity, love, and unwavering support for President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Buba made this call during a special Iftar dinner he hosted on Monday in Abuja for NTAC staff and selected stakeholders.

He emphasized that, given the developmental strides achieved in less than two years, Nigerians have every reason to be optimistic about the country’s future.

Speaking on the significance of Ramadan as a time for reflection, sacrifice, and compassion for the less privileged, Buba encouraged NTAC staff to cultivate mutual respect and teamwork in the workplace.

He stressed that unity and collaboration are essential in fulfilling the agency’s mandate and contributing to the collective vision of a greater Nigeria.

The event was not only a commemoration of Ramadan but also an opportunity to highlight NTAC’s achievements in promoting the foreign policy components of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. It also served as a platform to strengthen relationships among NTAC staff, stakeholders, and Nigerians, regardless of religious backgrounds.

The colorful gathering was attended by ambassadors, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, NTAC staff, and other key stakeholders.

The event fostered informal discussions and team bonding beyond regular office engagements, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Among those who commended the Director-General for his thoughtful initiative was Amb. Yakubu Abdullahi Ahmed, Director of Administration at NTAC.

He praised the event for its role in rejuvenating the NTAC workforce and showcasing the Tinubu Administration’s global impact through the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps.

The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.

The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.

According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.

NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.

It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.

The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.

It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
