Senator Tokunbo Abiru Celebrates Hon. Minister, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) At 59*

 *






On behalf of my family, and the entire family of the Lagos East Senatorial District, I join your friends, well wishers, admirers and eminent Nigerians in congratulating a  perfect gentleman, brother and boss, Honourable Minister of Works and Housing, His Excellency, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) on your 59th birthday celebrations.


Your Excellency, Lagosians remain eternally grateful to you for the enduring transformation you brought to Lagos.  As the Executive Governor of Lagos, you demonstrated to the people of Lagos and Nigerians that the government indeed can provide sustainable quality, world class  public services to the people. You spurred Lagosians' patriotism and civic obligations in the payment of taxes and other civic duties as part of their fulfillment of the sacred social contract between the people and the government.


The trust our people have in you which was built through judicious deployment of public resources, that has been sustained by successive governments in Lagos State has placed the State on the trajectory of continuous growth and development. I am indeed proud to be associated with you.


When His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, appointed you to oversee the strategic ministries of Power, Works and Housing in 2015, we knew you were eminently and competently qualified to deliver on the serious assignment and responsibility. 


Looking back now, Nigerians of good conscience can attest to the unprecedented improvements in the nation's infrastructure especially roads and housing.  

 

On this auspicious occasion of your 59th birthday, I pray that Almighty Allah grants you good health, sound mind and longevity to serve Nigeria and humanity.


Congratulations and happy Birthday!
