Public service extends beyond government offices and official titles. It includes the responsibility to contribute meaningfully to the well-being and progress of society.

This should be continuously defined.

We celebrate a remarkable milestone in the life of His Excellency, Boss Mustapha, NPoM, CFR, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

Positions come and go, but the mark of meaningful service endures in the institutions strengthened, the people served and the example left behind. Mr. Boss Mustapha’s journey in public service has been defined by a commitment to all three.

Across decades of public service, he has distinguished himself by a rare combination of integrity, diligence, humility and institutional wisdom. At some of the most consequential moments in our nation’s recent history, he served with composure, responsibility and an unwavering commitment to Nigeria.

From his service as Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority to his tenure as Secretary to the Government of the Federation, and his leadership of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, his public career has reflected a deep understanding of what service to a nation demands.

But beyond the offices, titles and responsibilities is something even more enduring: the character with which he carried them.

For us at the Nigeria Excellence Awards in Public Service (NEAPS), that distinction is particularly meaningful.

From the earliest days of the NEAPS vision, Boss Mustapha believed in what we were building. He embraced the idea that Nigeria must deliberately recognise those who give their best in service of the nation, because excellence deserves to be seen, celebrated and preserved for posterity.

His support for that vision, and his close collaboration with us from the very beginning, remain deeply appreciated.

Happy 70th Birthday, Boss Mustapha.

May this new decade bring you renewed strength, abundant grace, good health and many more years in which to inspire, mentor and contribute to the Nigeria you have served with distinction.

From all of us at NEAPS, thank you for believing in the vision. Thank you for standing with excellence. And thank you for a life of distinguished service.

Nigeria celebrates you.
NEAPS honours you.
History will remember your service.

- In 2025, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, was recognised by NEAPS for excellence in infrastructure delivery and sustainable regional growth.

In 2026, the work continues.

Among the Commission’s ongoing reforms is the digitization of its processes—including procurement—with the stated objective of improving transparency, efficiency and service delivery.

ONE YEAR ON: A NEAPS series following the work beyond the award.

The things we love to see!

A moment of appreciation at the airport, as citizens paused to welcome and applaud Nigerian soldiers returning from a mission.

Moments like this matter, as service deserves to be seen, appreciated and honoured.

God bless our soldiers. We appreciate you all! 🪖🇳🇬

Here’s to a September of purposeful work, responsible citizenship and service that makes a difference, wherever we find ourselves.

Not every hero wears recognition.

Some wear responsibility, carrying it willingly despite the risks, the uncertainty, and the personal sacrifices it demands.

If you know a member of the Armed Forces, Police, Civil Defence, or any security agency [and even you don’t know any], share or repost this in their honour.

Sometimes, appreciation is the reinforcement that duty needs.

The enduring strength of any democracy lies not in its elections, but in the values that guide its people between them.

Democracy is sustained when leadership is exercised with integrity, institutions remain faithful to their purpose, and citizens continue to engage with responsibility, conviction, and hope.

Its promise extends beyond the ballot box. It is reflected in the quality of service delivered, the trust earned through accountability, and the collective commitment to the common good.

Democracy offers opportunity; what a nation becomes is ultimately determined by what its people do with it.

As we commemorate Democracy Day, may we continue to pursue a Nigeria where service is valued, excellence is rewarded, and progress is measured not only by our words, but by our actions.

Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria.

The beginning of a work year is often framed around ambition and targets. But lasting progress is usually shaped by something quieter: standards.

How we approach our responsibilities, respect process, and show up daily, across public service, private enterprise, and with citizenship, collectively determines national outcomes.

As the year begins, this is an invitation to raise the standard where it matters most: in our work, our conduct, and our contribution.
