I heartily convey my profound felicitations to a rare accomplisher and leader of inestimable value, His Excellency, Senator George Akume, CON, Secretary to the Government of the Federation on this auspicious occasion of the Platinum Jubilee celebration of his birth, this 27th December 2023.
Your Excellency, this anniversary is extra-special and therefore calls for our celebration of the enduring life journey of a leader who has marked tremendous milestones in service to humanity. In all your public and private life endeavours, you have remained forward looking, endearing in leadership and passionate in service.
You served meritoriously as a Governor of Benue State for 8 years, as a Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, and today, you are making us proud as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. As you step into a new age full of experience, I pray for God to continue to bless and prosper you with sound health and mind to continue to work for the prosperity of our nation.
Please, Your Excellency, accept always the assurances of the esteemed regards and best wishes of my family, the management and staff of the Federal Ministry of Works.
Once more, congratulations, Your Excellency
