President Muhammadu Buhari has warmly felicitated with Executive Director/CEO, Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Olusegun Awolowo Jr., on his 58th birthday.
The NEPC helmsman who is the grandson of former Nigerian nationalist, socialist and statesman, Obafemi Awolowo, was born on September 27, 1963.
The president joined family and friends to celebrate with the lawyer and administrator, whose contributions to nation building remain indelible.
President Buhari, in a congratulatory message signed by his media aide, Femi Adesina, noted Awolowo’s willingness to work in public service over many years, serving four presidents in different capacities, and now leading the policy of “zero-oil’’, which seeks to stimulate potentials for export in some key areas of the economy that will generate foreign exchange.
“The President congratulates the Executive Director, who was elected President of National Trade Promotion Organizations (TPOs) from ECOWAS member States, due to his diligence and commitment to encouraging inward–outward linkage for the Nigerian and African economy.
“As the scion of Chief Obafemi Awolowo family turns 58, President Buhari prays for his good health and strength to keep serving the nation he loves so much.”
