Dr. Tanimu Yakubu once served under Late President Yaradua. Congrats to him.
ReplyDeleteClose to both former presidents and worked for both of them.
DeleteBen Akabueze has lived a very distinguished and fulfilled life. From being a Commissioner in Lagos for 8 years, to serving under Buhari's and Tinubu's government as DG of the Budget Office.
ReplyDeleteAs my Pastor when I was in NLS Lagos campus, many years ago, I have seen God's glory manifest on this man's life.
I wish him well in his retirement, and pray that same favour locates me in my endeavours
