As we join the Christian faithful in Nigeria and across the globe to celebrate the joyous occasion of Easter, I extend my warmest felicitations to all staff of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC), our esteemed TAC Volunteers serving across the world, and indeed, all Nigerians.
Easter is a profound reminder of the power of selfless sacrifice, unconditional love and the triumph of hope over despair.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ stands as an enduring symbol of renewal, teaching us that through dedication and selflessness, we can overcome the most daunting challenges and birth a better tomorrow.
These virtues of sacrifice and selfless love resonate deeply with the core mandate of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps and our everyday commitment to our country and society at large.
Every day, our gallant Volunteers leave the comfort of their homes to serve in various African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) nations. In doing so,these Volunteers embody the very essence of sacrifice, sharing their skills, knowledge and expertise to uplift our brothers and sisters in recipient countries.These are the true ambassadors of Nigeria’s foreign policy, projecting our nation’s spirit of brotherhood, resilience and goodwill despite the daunting challenges of wherever they serve.
As we commemorate this holy season, I urge all our Volunteers and dedicated staff to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice made for humanity by our Lord Jesus. Let the lessons of Easter inspire us to rededicate ourselves to the service of our fatherland and humanity at large. Let us continue to build bridges of friendship and foster sustainable development wherever we find ourselves.
To our nation, Nigeria, may this Easter usher in a renewed sense of unity, peace and national cohesion. Let us embrace the spirit of forgiveness and work together towards the shared vision of a prosperous and great country, especially now that a new round of electoral activities stares us in the face.
We must resolve to support our leaders to get things right at all times.This is because uneasy lies the head that bears the crown. We can pursue and achieve the foregoing by praying constantly for these leaders and submitting their thoughts and actions to the direction of the Holy Spirit for divine guidance, wisdom and the kind of mindset that entrenches love,equity and sacrifice for the led and for humanity in general.
As we celebrate with our families, friends, and host communities, I pray that the joy, peace, and blessings of Easter fill our hearts and homes.
Happy Easter!
