President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, on his 64th birthday.
The president, in a statement issued Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said Lawan has a profile of being one of the most experienced legislators in the country, having served eight years in the House of Representatives, 1999-2007, and almost 12 years in the Senate.
The president said Lawan, after leaving his career path as a lecturer and researcher, deployed his vast knowledge in shaping policies and strengthening democracy in Nigeria by always showing maturity, and advocating a win-win for all stakeholders.
