President Bola Tinubu has congratulated his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination and Head of the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU), Hadiza Bala-Usman, on her 50th birthday on January 2, 2026, lauding her sterling public service achievements.
He described her as a dedicated patriot whose career reflects service, sacrifice, and commitment to national development.
In a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Thursday, Tinubu said Bala-Usman’s nearly three decades in public service offer enduring lessons in diligence and purpose-driven leadership.
He recalled her early years at the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), where, even at a young age, she demonstrated exceptional clarity of vision and a firm grasp of the structural reforms needed to drive economic growth.
President Tinubu described her leadership and outstanding achievements at the Abuja Enterprise Agency and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) as defining milestones, noting that she broke barriers, raised standards, and strengthened accountability in public administration.
He also commended her political contributions, particularly her role in party organisation and institutional development within the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he said helped entrench internal processes, organisational effectiveness, excellence, and democratic values.
