STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE:

NIGERIA WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOU, PRESIDENT BUHARI TELLS CHIEF AKINTOLA WILLIAMS AT 100


President @MBuhari felicitates with renowned chartered accountant, iconic leader and legendary teacher, Chief Akintola Williams, who turns a centenarian, August 9, 2019, congratulating him for many honours and pride brought to Nigeria and Africa.

Pres. Buhari commends Chief Williams for his pioneering & pacesetting roles, laying the foundation for many institutions in the country, which include Nigerian Stock Exchange & Institute of Chartered Accountants, which have long turned into strong pillars of the Nigerian economy.

The President believes Chief Williams’s prudent utilisation of time from his youth, and a proclivity for looking beyond circumstances, separated him early for global recognition, turning him into an institution that many will continue to study and draw inspiration from.

President @MBuhari extols the centenarian’s adventurous spirit of seeking and taking up challenges like music, arts and promotion of culture, underscoring his willingness to always serve the country and move it to greater heights through knowledge, wisdom and counsels to leaders.

The President joins family, friends and professional colleagues in celebrating with Oloye Williams, Africa’s first Chartered Accountant, on his 100th birthday, and for achieving the feat of inspiring the largest professional services firm in Nigeria with Deloitte & Touche.

He prayed that the almighty God will grant Chief Williams health and strength to continue serving God, the country and humanity.[/quote]

Can we please keep tribalism out of this commendable post. Don't you people get tired of this petty childish behaviour?!

Some people are allergic to good news, instead of them to find out the source of their frustrations, they come to Nairaland to declare their assets in foolishness.

Good historical pictures - 1986!!. I like how things evolved. See Gamaliel Onosode, I guess. The movers and checkers of corporate Nigeria. Nothing is permanent.

Happy Birthday Baba... So happy for you. Agba yin ti dale already.

If we check now, you and your extended family are living and thriving in Yoruba land.

You people are annoyingly ungrateful beings and if we ask you to return to your Igbo land your pride will leave you and you will be shedding tears like a child who has lost his sweet. Yeye shameless tribe, e dey all of una body!

Yoruba are centuries ahead of you - hinterland bush people.

Happy Birthday Sir
