Birthday: LAUTECH alumni president, Lekan Badmus celebrates Gboyega Oyetola, describes him as ‘leader and achiever’
It is a great pleasure to celebrate the 70th birthday of my leader and an achiever, His Excellency, Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy. This milestone is not just a celebration of a remarkable life but also an acknowledgment of your extraordinary service to our dear Osun state and the nation at large.
There is no gainsaying the fact that your tenure as the Governor of Osun was marked by visionary leadership, purposeful governance, and unwavering dedication to the welfare of the people. Your administration stood out for its commitment to fiscal discipline, infrastructural development, and social inclusion, which laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of our state. The legacy of your administration is evident in the lives of the people whose socioeconomic well-being was positively transformed under your stewardship.
In the realm of party politics, you have been a beacon of integrity and resilience. As a performing leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), you have exemplified the values of loyalty, commitment, and service to the people. Your calm and pragmatic approach to governance and political engagements have inspired many, and your contributions to the growth and stability of our party are invaluable.
Your appointment as the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy is a testament to your outstanding leadership qualities and your proven track record of performance. We have no doubt that your vast experience, vision, and dedication will significantly advance Nigeria’s marine and blue economy sector, creating opportunities for growth, investment, and development. Your Excellency, your leadership continues to set a high standard for public service, and we are confident that you will steer this new role with the same excellence and commitment that characterized your time as Governor.
As you celebrate your 70th birthday today, we honour not just your contributions to governance and politics but also your unwavering commitment to service and humanity. You have remained a pillar of support for many, a source of hope and inspiration, and a leader who consistently places the people first.
On this special occasion, I join millions of Nigerians, particularly the good people of Osun state, to celebrate a leader par excellence. We pray that Almighty God continues to bless you with good health, strength, and wisdom as you continue to serve our nation with passion and purpose.
