The Acting Director General and Chief Executive Officer of the National Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), Ondo, Dr David Adebiyi Shofoyeke has called on Staff of the Institute, its numerous clients and Nigerians at large to emulate the virtues of love and sacrifice which characterized the life of Jesus Christ as they celebrate Easter to commemorate His death and resurrection.

Shofoyeke made the call in a message released by his Media Office in Ondo to mark the Easter celebration. He strongly commended the staff for the sacrifices they have made in the past few months for the Institute to be steered to the path of recovery and sustainable growth, assuring them that the seeds of patience that they have sown are beginning to sprout and will in no time bring forth an abundance of good fruits.

The Chief Executive likened the story of NIEPA in the last seven months to the message that Easter brings. “Only a few months ago, there was darkness everywhere and nothing was working here, but hope has come and the change can be seen by all and sundry”.

Dr Shofoyeke encouraged staff and citizens to be patient with the policies of the President Tinubu-led administration which has started yielding positive results and assured them that Nigeria will triumph over its challenges.
