President Muhammadu Buhari has joined family members and friends in celebrating with former Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Christopher Kolade, on his 89th birthday, December 28, 2021.
The president, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, rejoiced with the diplomat and academic, whose integrity, intelligence and experience, he said, had been placed many times at the service of the nation, leaving footprints of excellence and bringing glory to the country wherever he served.
President Buhari saluted the contributions of the veteran broadcaster in both the private and public sectors while working variously as Director General of Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation, Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Cadbury Nigeria Ltd, and lecturer at the Lagos Business School.
The president prayed for good health to keep sharing his wealth of knowledge.
