Happy 74th Birthday To The Father of the Emerging New Nigeria
Dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
On behalf of my family, please permit me to wish you a happy 74th birthday and declare you the father of an emerging New Nigeria and the global Face of Beneficial Reforms.
Mr President, in three years, you have added $67 billion to our economy, with our GDP rising from ₦269.29 trillion on May 29, 2023, when you became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.
You have overseen the expansion of our capital market, as the total market capitalisation of the Nigerian Exchange, which stood at ₦27.915 trillion on December 30, 2022, before you took over the saddle, hit ₦122 trillion in January of 2026, which we thought was unprecedented. That is almost five times what it was before you were elected.
But what we thought was unprecedented has now been precedented, with the All Share Index hitting the 200,000-point mark on Monday, March 16, 2026.
Mr President, during the campaigns, you promised Local Government Autonomy, and have delivered on that promise on Thursday, July 11, 2024.
Almost a million Nigerian students are living out your student loan promise as a reality in our ivory towers.
You said a four-year course would be a four-year course, as you vowed to eradicate strikes by the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities by adequately funding the education sector. That promise is fulfilled as this is the first time in forever that Nigeria has gone three years without a nationwide ASUU strike.
And quite significant to me, as a diplomat, is the fact that you have delivered to Nigeria her most significant diplomatic feat in thirty-seven years, with your State Visit to the United Kingdom on the invitation of His Royal Majesty, King Charles III.
For these accomplishments, and for turning Nigeria from the largest importer of fuel in Africa in 2023, to the single biggest exporter of refined petroleum products in West Africa in 2026, I proudly flew the City Boy Movement Flag on the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is the highest peak in Africa, signifying that you have taken Nigeria to the height of the continent.
On that basis, my family and I join a grateful nation in wishing you a very happy birthday and many returns of this day, in good health and prosperity.
May God bless you, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and all Nigerians.
