Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan: A Chief Press Secretary with a Difference

Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan: A Chief Press Secretary with a Difference    By Sunday Ajibola Positions offer individuals opportunities to serve, spanning appointments, promotional, spiritual, and secular roles. Service has two purposes: to benefit oneself and others. It is well-known that the ultimate duty of humanity is to serve people or  enriching oneself. Yet, many who are entrusted with such opportunities often disregard the first principle. They use their positions for personal gain, rendering themselves irrelevant and forgotten once they leave their esteemed roles.

  OLUMIDE ORIGUNLOYE: THE GOLDEN BOY CHAMPIONING THE CAUSE OF REDEEMING AKURE By Sunday Ajibola Men (referring to both men and women) make things happen. We are the harbingers of all the good available in the world. Name it. Be it the scientific, technological, industrial, and educational breakthrough, men are the brains behind them. We have the power and privilege to bring about change by improving ourselves, our surroundings, and the lives of others. Talking about bringing lasting and developmental improvement, only individuals with discipline, dedication, vision, passion, and a love for others can carry it out. Anyone can think only of themselves and improve their lives in the process—it doesn’t require rocket science. Most of us belong to that category of people, which explains Nigeria's current backward position and the heightened suffering of its people.
