Buhari greets Femi Okunnu on 85th birthday,

President Muhammadu Buhari congratulates elder statesman and Nigeria’s former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing, Alhaji Femi Okunnu, on his 85th birthday.

President Buhari felicitates with all the family, friends and professional colleagues of the elder statesman for the grace of living a long and fulfilled life, looking back at his foundational contributions to the infrastructural growth of the nation, and its developmental strides.

President Buhari affirms that  Alhaji Okunnu was among the first administrators to set  Nigeria on the path of physical growth by patriotically ensuring a plan and implementation  of network of roads for the country in the 60’s, that have become the landmark routes after more  than half of a century.

The President extols Okunnu for his nationalistic position and views at critical moments in the nation’s  existence, especially the legendary role he played during  the mediatory meetings after the Nigerian civil war and his contributions to structuring the nation’s  legal architecture as the country continues to  develop.

President Buhari prays that the almighty God will grant the elder statesman longer life, more strength and wisdom to continue serving the nation he loves so much.
