The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has said his reappointment is a call for him to render greater service to the nation.
The SGF said he would do the job with seriousness.
“I’m overwhelmed by the level of confidence reposed in me by the President and the nation to handle the affairs of state from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF),” Mustapha said while addressing reporters yesterday at the Yola International Airport, Jimeta, Adamawa State.
The SGF, who was returning to Abuja after a weekend visit to Adamawa State, said he found his reappointment thrilling and challenging.
“In the last couple of days, I have been weighed down by the enormity of the responsibility of my office and the trust placed on me,” he said.
Mustapha promised to take his responsibilities seriously because the destinies of Nigerians hang in the balance, subjected to his actions or inactions.
He said: “I must do everything to honour God and justify the trust reposed in me by Mr President.”
