“As Sanwo-Olu Turns 60, Tinubu Celebrates A Loyal Ally And Visionary Leader!”

President Bola Tinubu has warmly congratulated Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on the occasion of his 60th birthday, celebrated this Wednesday.

President Bola Tinubu’s congratulatory message to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was delivered in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by Presidential spokesperson, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.

Sanwo-Olu, a long-time political protégé of Tinubu, currently serves as the sixth democratically elected governor of Lagos State, Nigeria’s economic hub. Before assuming office, he held key positions in the public sector, including Managing Director of the Lagos State Property Development Corporation, and served as Commissioner in the Ministries of Economic Planning and Budget; Commerce and Industry; and Establishments, Training and Pensions.

Tinubu praised Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to the Lagos master plan initiated during his own tenure as governor from 1999 to 2007, describing him as a dependable leader advancing the state’s development.

“Your commitment to this vision is evident in significant achievements like the completion of the Blue and Red Rail lines and the ongoing preparations for the Purple Line to serve the vital Lekki corridor,” Tinubu stated.

He urged the governor to remain focused on high-impact infrastructure, highlighting the need to prioritise long-awaited projects such as the Fourth Mainland Bridge and the Freedom Way–VGC Road.

The President concluded by wishing Sanwo-Olu continued good health, long life, and greater success in service to Lagos and the nation.

“I wish you enduring good health and many more years of meaningful service to Lagos State and Nigeria,” he said.
