In the spirit of Eid-il-Kabir, kakalistiq.com reports that Hon. Ahmed Seriki, who represents the Epe Division at the Lagos State Local Government Service Commission, has called on public servants to dedicate themselves to their duties with unwavering resilience and sacrifice. Speaking in an interview on Saturday, Seriki highlighted the importance of these virtues in driving local, state, and national development.
Drawing inspiration from the teachings of the holy Quran, Hon. Seriki emphasized that the essence of Eid-il-Kabir—sacrifice, patience, and commitment—parallels the qualities needed in public service. “Eid-il-Kabir teaches us the value of sacrifice and dedication. As public servants, we must emulate these principles in our daily responsibilities to foster accelerated growth and development,” he stated.

However, we must continue to push forward, focusing on our duties with renewed vigour and resilience.”
He further elaborated on the significance of public service in the broader context of national development. “The role we play at the local government level has a ripple effect on state and national progress. It is through our collective efforts that we can build a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.”
Hon. Seriki also called for unity and collaboration among public servants, encouraging them to support one another in their shared mission. “Just as the holy Quran teaches us the importance of community and solidarity, we too must work together, supporting each other to overcome challenges and achieve our common goals.”
He concluded by wishing all public servants a joyous and fulfilling Eid-il-Kabir, expressing hope that the celebration would inspire renewed dedication and commitment. “May this Eid bring you joy, and may its teachings inspire us all to greater heights of service and sacrifice for the betterment of our communities and nation.”
As Lagos State continues to strive for excellence, the words of Hon. Ahmed Seriki is a powerful call to action for all those committed to public service.
