President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the consummate businessman and philanthropist, Dr Mike Adenuga Jnr, on his 70th birthday on April 29, 2023.
The president’s congratulatory message was contained in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr Femi Adesina, on Friday in Abuja.
President Buhari saluted the entrepreneur, ”whose charity and goodwill continue to inspire, attracting local and global recognitions, including three national honours, OON, CON and GCON.”
He affirmed the impact of Adenuga’s visionary leadership on Nigeria’s economy, setting the pace for investments in oil and gas, telecoms, real estate, banking, construction, and hospitality.
He also lauded him for making remarkable presence in supporting entertainment, sports, and African culture, within and outside the country.
The President extolled the philanthropist for his courage, humility, and dedication to nation-building.
He also commended him for always placing the interest of the nation first and welfare of the people by ensuring that all his ventures and investments upheld human values of empathy, appreciation, trust, and respect.
According to the President, the numerous national and global awards are well deserved, including the highest individual honour for a private citizen in Nigeria, GCON, and many others of high note like “The Companion of the Star of Ghana’’ from Ghana.
Adenuga was also honuored with the rank of “Commander of the Legion of Honour’’ by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The President prayed that Adenuga, who is Otunba Apesin of Ijebu-land, would continue to grow in health, strength, and sound mind.
