President Bola Tinubu has sent heartfelt wishes to the Lagos State Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu as he turns 60 today.
A statement by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President, Information & Strategy, indicates that Governor Sanwo-Olu, the sixth democratically elected Governor of Lagos State, began his political career under the tutelage of President Tinubu.
Sanwo-Olu’s extensive public service includes distinguished roles as Managing Director/CEO of the Lagos State Property Development Corporation and as a three-time Commissioner across key ministries: Economic Planning and Budget; Commerce and Industry; and Establishments, Training, and Pensions.
It adds, President Tinubu commends the Governor’s steadfast commitment to Lagos State’s growth and development, noting his alignment with the transformative master plan established during the President’s tenure as Governor (1999–2007).
“Your execution of this vision is exemplified by landmark achievements, including completing the Blue and Red Rail lines and the ongoing preparations for the Purple Line, which will serve the vital Lekki corridor. I urge you to sustain this trajectory by prioritising impactful projects for Lagosians, notably the long-awaited Fourth Mainland Bridge and the Freedom Way to Victoria Garden City (VGC) Road”, President Tinubu says.
“I also wish you continued good health, longevity, and many more years of invaluable service to Lagos State and Nigeria.” The President concludes.
