President Bola Tinubu has celebrated Sokoto State governor, Dr Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto, on his 54th birthday.
Tinubu in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, lauded the outstanding leadership testimonials of Aliyu, noting his steady growth and consistency in quality service provision as he ascended the public service ladder as two-time commissioner, deputy governor, pioneer executive secretary of the Police Trust Fund and now serving as the governor of the state.
The president commended the governor for his unequivocal adherence to progressive principles and penchant for unquestioned loyalty under the able mentorship of Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko. He appreciated his implementation of people-oriented programmes in Sokoto, such as the provision of infrastructure, potable water, environmental sanitation, health services, widening deployment of digital innovation and ICT training for the youth, care for the physically challenged, among others.
Tinubu wished the governor good health, strength, and wisdom in the service of the state and Nigeria at large.
