Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals, has praised President Muhammadu Buhari as a direct leader who is passionate and genuinely loves the people.
This was said by Princess Orelope-Adefulire in a statement to express her gratitude to President Buhari for another successful year.
The head of the SDGs added that since his election in 2015, the President has shown his real affection for the oppressed and the disadvantaged via several programmes, policies, initiatives, and investments in infrastructure around the nation.
“Under him, Nigeria is implementing Africa's biggest social investment scheme. President Buhari is the President that signed the Disability Act into law and he also makes it operational through the establishment of the Disability Commission.
“His administration is implementing many schemes and initiatives designed to empower Nigerian youths, in line with this desire to see 100 million Nigerians lifted out of poverty in 10 years. All these are also in tune with the goals and targets of the 2023 Agenda, Orelope-Adefulire said.
“Without his support, we could not have recorded such achievements. On this 80th birthday, therefore, I hail this forthright, selfless and honest leader who has demonstrated that he is the ultimate champion of SDGs in Nigeria.
She commended the President for the firm support to her and her office in the implementation of SDGs in Nigeria, especially the interventions on health, education and empowerment-related goals that already have positive impacts on lives across Nigeria.
“Congratulations, Mr President and here is wishing you more years of peace, good health and wisdom,” Orelope-Adefulire said.
