Who you work with determines how far you can go.

Nigeria, meet your Postmaster General, @tola_odeyemi!

It has been a pleasure working with Tola, whose leadership and determination, alongside her team at @NipostNgn, have brought our new National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System to life.

Behind every milestone are people who put in the work. Today, I celebrate Tola and her team for delivering something that will touch lives across Nigeria.

Thank you, Tola. Proud of what we are building! We will make it count!

@OfficialAPCNg @nentawe1 Prof @nentawe1 is a good man, when Prof was a lecturer in the electrical dept in Uni Agric Makurdi, after giving his project students their topics, he always financed their research works up to 50-70% of the total sum, my mates always loved him as supervisor. Happy birthday Prof.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU GREETS SENATOR LALONG ON BIRTHDAY

President Bola Tinubu @officialABAT heartily congratulates Senator Simon Bako Lalong, a prominent lawyer, politician, and Senator representing Plateau South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, on his birthday.

Lalong was previously Speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly before becoming governor of the state for two terms from 2015 to 2023.

President Tinubu underscores Senator Lalong's immense contributions to the country, highlighting his dedicated service and commitment to the development of Plateau State.

He particularly recalls the Senator's efforts at maintaining unity and stability in the volatile state during his tenure as governor.

The President praises Senator Lalong for his leadership and direction during the 2023 electioneering when he served as the Director-General of his campaigns.

"Lalong's loyalty and dedication to Plateau State and belief in worthy causes is remarkable. Such was his commitment to the state that he stepped down as Minister of Labour and Employment in our administration to take up a seat in the National Assembly as Senator representing Plateau South in 2023," the President remarks.

While wishing Senator @LalongBako many more years of meritorious service to Plateau State and Nigeria, President Tinubu prays for Lalong's good health and renewed strength.
