PRESIDENT TINUBU'S BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO AN EXTRAORDINARY INDUSTRIALIST AND PHILANTHROPIST, PRINCE SAMUEL ADEDOYIN

Today, I join family, friends, and well-wishers across the country in celebrating Prince Samuel Adedoyin, an extraordinary industrialist, philanthropist, and founder of the Doyin Group of Companies, on his 90th birthday.

Prince Adedoyin, a national icon with decades of footprints in the manufacturing sector of our national economy, is a patriarch of uncommon vision, discipline, and generosity.

Baba Adedoyin stands as one of Nigeria's finest examples of industry, resilience, and patriotic commitment. Through sheer determination, entrepreneurial brilliance, and integrity, he built enterprises that have contributed significantly to our economy and created opportunities for countless Nigerians. His life's journey remains a shining testament to what is possible through faith, hard work, and an unwavering belief in the promise of our country.

Beyond his business accomplishments, Baba Adedoyin's kindness and philanthropy have touched many lives. His compassion for the vulnerable, his investment in education and community development, and his uplifting spirit have carved out a legacy for him that transcends generations.

Baba Adedoyin is a classic example of a Lagos success story. He came to Lagos as a teenager from Agbamu, Kwara State, guided only by faith, determination, and a strong will to succeed. For over seven decades in Lagos, he has remained a respectable part of the state's social and economic fabric. His love and affection for his native Agbamu have never waned, either.

I have always enjoyed a close, pleasant and warm personal relationship with Baba Adedoyin. I admire his strength of character and fortitude in the face of adversity and personal loss.

As Baba Adedoyin marks this remarkable milestone, I celebrate his purposeful and impactful life as a cherished leader whose wisdom continues to enrich our society. I pray that the Almighty grants him continued grace, strength, peace, and joy in the years ahead.

I welcome Baba Adedoyin to the grand club of the nonagenerians.

Happy 90th Birthday, Baba!
