President Muhammadu Buhari has warmly felicitated with legal luminary, educationist and philanthropist, Chief Afe Babalola, who turns 90, praying for longer life, good health and strength.
The President joined Chief Babalola’s family members, friends and professional colleagues in celebrating the nonagenarian, whose life’s story has been a study on focus, discipline and commitment to God, and serving humanity.

The President commended Chief Babalola’s dedication to equipping the society with knowledge and skills, and his investments in key sectors of the economy that directly impact on livelihood, especially in health, education and encouraging entrepreneurship.
