President Muhammadu Buhari sends warm greetings to the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, on his 55th birthday, June 25, 2020, saluting the courage and boundless energy he has brought into leadership, especially the focus on people oriented development.
President Buhari joins the State Executive Council, family, friends and political associates of the former banker in celebrating the visionary leader, who has over the years contributed to the development of the state at various levels, including serving as Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Commissioner for Training and Pensions, and Managing Director/CEO of Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC).
The President affirms that the governor’s consistency in diligently serving governments in the state, and loyalty to the governing party, APC, deserves commendation, urging him to keep sharing the wealth of experience gained from the private sector to bring more competency and effectiveness into the public sector, which provides the engine for driving policies, and actualizing development plans.
As the Lagos State Governor turns 55, President Buhari notes, with appreciation, the strong leadership he has brought to bear with his management team to contain and reverse the spread of novel coronavirus.
The President prays that the Almighty God will grant Governor Sanwo-Olu more years of good health, strength and wisdom to serve Lagos State, and the nation.
