President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said Nigeria appreciated Prof. Adeolu Akande, the Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), for his contributions to national development.
The president said this in a release issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, to felicitate with Akande on his 55th birth anniversary.
President Buhari also noted that Akande has contributed to national development in different fields like journalism, academia and public service, adding that his commitment and diligence on national assignments stand him out as a role model for young Nigerians.
“The country appreciates your contribution to national development through the training of Nigerian youths in our tertiary institutions and your relentless advocacy for the rights and development of youths. You remain a model worthy of emulation by the youths of Nigeria.
“The nation also notes the commitment and doggedness you have always brought to discharge national assignments. Your belief in the unity and oneness of Nigeria is also worthy of mention on this auspicious occasion,” he said.
The release said Buhari wished the Oyo APC guber hopeful, “many more years of service to Nigeria and humanity in good health”.
