Tinubu celebrates Zulum at 54

President Bola Tinubu has felicitated with Borno State Governor, Babagana Umara Zulum, as he marks his 54th birthday.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu said Zulum has redefined leadership in the country, citing his handling of the security of his people.

The statement read: “While rejoicing with family, friends, and associates of the beloved political leader, whose vision and selfless diligence continue to inspire, President Tinubu affirms that the Borno State Governor has redefined leadership in Nigeria by fully committing to the welfare and security of his constituents above all considerations, driving a message of renewed hope in both the young and the old, even as he rebuilds institutions and infrastructure that were torn apart by many years of insurgency.

“President Tinubu notes the courageous zeal of the young Administrative Icon in bringing comprehensive change, which dates back to his tenure as an educationist, holding many positions such as: Deputy Dean and Acting Dean of the Faculty of Engineering in the University of Maiduguri; Rector of Ramat Polytechnic; and later, Commissioner of Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Resettlement under former Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima, who is now the nation’s Vice President.

“The President prays for more years of strength, courage, and wisdom for Governor Zulum.”
