President Bola Tinubu has extended his warmest congratulations to Prince Dapo Abiodun, the Governor of Ogun State and Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, on the occasion of his 65th birthday and the 6th anniversary of his administration, both celebrated on May 29.
In a heartfelt tribute, President Tinubu commended Governor Abiodun’s exemplary leadership over the past six years, describing his tenure as a shining example of progressive governance.
Under Abiodun’s administration, Ogun State has made remarkable strides across several key sectors, including infrastructure development, education, youth empowerment, agriculture, food security, and social welfare.
These achievements, the President noted, have collectively transformed Ogun State into a model of growth and sustainable development.
Speaking through his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu highlighted the transparent and inclusive approach to governance championed by Governor Abiodun.
This approach has positioned Ogun State as a beacon of stability and innovation in the region. It has become a preferred destination for investors and demonstrated a consistent increase in internal revenue, reflecting strong economic management and sound fiscal policies.
President Tinubu further praised Governor Abiodun’s unwavering dedication to public service, emphasizing that his commitment has been a pillar of strength in Nigeria’s broader national renewal and pursuit of prosperity.
He described Abiodun’s leadership not only within Ogun State but also at the regional level, through his influential role as Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum. In this capacity, Abiodun has played a vital role in fostering unity, encouraging open dialogue, and promoting sustainable development across the southern states.
As Governor Abiodun marks these significant milestones—both personal and professional—President Tinubu joined the governor’s family, associates, and the people of Ogun State in celebrating his numerous accomplishments and enduring legacy of service.
The President offered his prayers and best wishes, hoping that the years ahead would bring Governor Abiodun continued good health, joy, and lasting peace.
