…As Agency Staff, Stakeholders Gather for Ramadan Iftar

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.
