President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Lagos State Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu on attaining the age of 60 today, June 25, 2025.
The President’s felicitation was contained in a press statement issued by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement recalled that Governor Sanwo-Olu, the sixth democratically elected Governor of Lagos State, began his political career under President Tinubu’s mentorship.
Sanwo-Olu’s extensive public service includes distinguished roles as Managing Director/CEO of the Lagos State Property Development Corporation and as a three-time Commissioner across key ministries: Economic Planning and Budget; Commerce and Industry; and Establishments, Training, and Pensions.
President Tinubu commended the Governor’s steadfast commitment to Lagos State’s growth and development, noting his alignment with the transformative master plan established during the President’s tenure as Governor (1999–2007).
“Your execution of this vision is exemplified by landmark achievements, including completing the Blue and Red Rail lines and the ongoing preparations for the Purple Line, which will serve the vital Lekki corridor. I urge you to sustain this trajectory by prioritising impactful projects for Lagosians, notably the long-awaited Fourth Mainland Bridge and the Freedom Way to Victoria Garden City (VGC) Road”, President Tinubu says.
The President concluded: “I also wish you continued good health, longevity, and many more years of invaluable service to Lagos State and Nigeria.”
