President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Nigeria’s former Ambassador to The Netherlands, Dr Olatokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu, on her 70th birthday, slated for February 20.
Buhari’s congratulatory message is contained in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina in Abuja on Monday.
The President said he joined the Awolowo family, friends and professional colleagues of the cerebral daughter of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo in celebrating her landmark age.
He noted with delight that Awolowo-Dosunmu’s life had over the years been lined with service to her fatherland, and humanity, as a medical doctor, diplomat and philanthropist.
The President said the former Ambassador’s representation of the country at different fora, local and international reflected her “unbridled passion to see Nigeria succeed and grow to be among the most influential”.
Buhari affirmed that Awolowo-Dosunmu had upheld the legacies of good and free education, effective and accessible healthcare systems that “indelibly inscribed her father’s political philosophy in the history of Nigeria”.
According to him, many citizens are still testifying to the benefits of Awolowo’s legacies after several decades.
The President prayed that the almighty God would grant Awolowo-Dosunmu longer life, robust health and more wisdom to serve the country and humanity.
