Honoured to Serve

Fela Bank-Olemoh's Honoured to Serve is a tactfully written memoir about the author's journey in public service during his stint as Special Adviser on Education to the Governor of Lagos State (2015 - 2019). The memoir is Fela's attempt to document history and create quality content in our political space. Divided into ten (10) succinct chapters, the narrative combines both history and pictorial representations to capture the achievements and legacy of the author. The narrative emphasises the importance of strong values and clear vision as a pre-requisite for any public servant to make a positive impact in the lives of their constituents. The memoir is a public servant's bid to present his experiences, not just as a testament, but as a guide to future generations.Reviews"Having witnessed Fela's passion, intelligence and dedication during the 2015 presidential election campaign, I subsequently recommended him for public service. I have never regretted it. His deep love for his country resonates with me and foregrounds the essence of this compelling memoir. Honoured to Serve is an insightful reflection by one of Nigeria's most dedicated public servants." - Professor Yemi OsinbajoVice President of Nigeria (2015-2023) "Fela's passion for Lagos and Nigeria is palpable. His entry into public service offered him the opportunity to bring his love and ideas for a "working Lagos" and, by extension, Nigeria to bear.
