President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with legal luminary and foremost educationist, Aare Afe Babalola, SAN, on his 91st birthday on October 30, 2020.
The president’s message was contained in a statement by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Thursday.
Buhari joined friends and family members to celebrate with the educationist, agriculturist and legal luminary.
“President Buhari congratulates Aare Babalola for another year added to his life, and more opportunities to give and show that sharing brings more joy than acquisition, while commending his antecedents in health, education and legal career, training more than 2,500 lawyers in the country, with 15 already recognized as Senior Advocates of Nigeria,” Adesina said.
“The President salutes the educationist for his high sense of patriotism, visionary leadership and penchant for always channelling his energy and resources into projects that directly impact the life of Nigerians, and providing wise counsels to leaders in both the private and public sectors on best ways to move the country forward.
“As the renowned lawyer and philanthropist turns 91, President Buhari prays that the almighty God will bless him and his family, and grant him longer life to keep serving the nation and humanity.”
