File; Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha
A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has urged Nigerian youths to rise above the limitations of their backgrounds and strive for excellence, saying his journey from the son of a classroom teacher to the nation’s number two bureaucratic position demonstrates that humble beginnings should not determine one’s destiny.
Mustapha spoke in Demsa, Adamawa State, on Saturday, during the inauguration and handover of a library complex he donated to the Lutheran University Nigeria as part of activities marking his 70th birthday.
The facility, named the Wesley Mustapha Library Complex by the Archbishop of the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria, Most Revd. Musa Panti Filibus, was built in honour of Mustapha’s late father, who was a teacher and later became a headmaster at the Government Science School established by the LCCN.
Mustapha said his decision to invest in the university was driven by a desire to create opportunities for younger generations and contribute to the development of education in the country.
