I join family, friends and countless admirers in celebrating your 65th birthday and a distinguished career in public service that has left an enduring imprint on our nation and the South-South region.
From serving as one of Nigeria’s youngest Senators, to Special Adviser to the President on Public Utilities, Chairman of the Technical Board of the defunct NEPA, Federal Minister of Power and Steel, and Governor of Cross River State, Your Excellency has consistently demonstrated visionary leadership, institutional reform and a commitment to national development.
Your contributions to Nigeria’s power sector reforms, public sector governance and the sustainable development of Cross River State continue to inspire a new generation of leaders.
As you celebrate this milestone, I pray that Almighty God grants you continued good health, wisdom, strength and many more years of impactful service to our nation.
May your legacy of service continue to flourish.
From Ms. Usoro Akpabio
Managing-Director,
South South Development Commission, SSDC.
