President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his warm felicitation to veteran broadcaster, administrator and Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Dr. Christopher Kolade, on today’s occasion of his 85th birthday.

Buhari, according to a statement by his media adviser, Mr. Femi Adesina, said he joined all Kolade’s professional colleagues, friends and family to celebrate “the graceful life of the versatile scholar and board room guru, whose achievements in various undertakings, both in the private and public sector, clearly underscore the power of discipline, focus and integrity.”


He added: “As he turns 85 years, the president commends Kolade’s many years of contributions to national development as an academic, administrator and a diplomat, especially in continually counselling leaders and mentoring the younger generation.

“President Buhari believes the eminent octogenarian has earned the respect and honour of both the young and old by walking in the fear of God, and leading a life of integrity, which are invaluable attributes that he recommends to all Nigerians, especially aspiring leaders.

“The president prays that God will grant Kolade wisdom, longer life and good health to continually serve the country and humanity.”
