| President Muhammadu Buhari |
President Muhammadu Buhari has sent warm greetings to former Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Breweries Plc, Elder Felix Ohiwerei, on his 85th birthday, January 18, 2022, congratulating him for historic service in the corporate world, and, now, full dedication to working for God and growth of the church.
The President noted the contributions of the corporate leader, administrator and renowned boardroom guru, to the development of the country, working variously with Unilever, London, UAC Foods, and Virgin Nigeria and chairing some public institutions.
The President believed Ohewerei’s visionary leadership style, and humble beginnings as a teacher, played a major role in his rise on the corporate ladder, utilising his experience in managing people and resources to innovatively set targets and get results.
As the administrator and philanthropist turns 85, President saluted his interest in raising leaders in the country, accepting to serve as Chairman, Friendship Bible Fellowship, National Director, Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International, Pro Chancellor/Chairman of Council, University of Ibadan and Chairman, Board of Trustees of Redeemer’s University.
President Buhari prayed for the good health of former Chairman of the Nigerian Breweries Plc, and welfare of his family.
