President Bola Tinubu and Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu have congratulated billionaire businessman and philanthropist Femi Otedola on his 63rd birthday.

In a statement issued today by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu described the Chairman of Geregu Power Plc as a shining example of excellence in Nigeria’s private sector.

The President commended Otedola’s entrepreneurial spirit, his investments in the energy industry, and his significant contributions to national development. He also praised the business mogul’s enduring commitment to philanthropy and corporate social responsibility.

“As you add another year, I am particularly impressed by your decision to document for posterity that it is possible to defy the odds, no matter how stacked they are against you,” Tinubu said.

“I pray that Almighty God continues to bless you with good health, wisdom, and greater accomplishments as you serve our dear nation and humanity.”

Similarly, Governor Sanwo-Olu, in a message shared across his social media platforms on Wednesday, celebrated Otedola for his humanitarian work and impact across Nigeria.

“Femi’s heart for people is as remarkable as his success in business,” Sanwo-Olu said. “His generosity has touched lives across Nigeria from supporting education and healthcare to championing causes that uplift communities.”

The governor highlighted Otedola’s consistent support for Lagos State through strategic partnerships, private sector collaborations, and direct social investments.

“Here in Lagos, his consistent support and love for our state remind us what true partnership looks like,” he added.

Sanwo-Olu wished the business magnate more years of fulfilment and prosperity.

“I wish him more years of impact, good health, and happiness. Happy birthday, Femi,” the governor said.
