Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Dr. Christopher Kolade has clocked 85 and he is being celebrated by President Muhammadu Buhari who has congratulated him.
Buhari, according to a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, joined all professional colleagues, friends and family of Dr. Kolade in celebrating the graceful life of the versatile scholar and board room guru.
He noted that Kolade’s achievements in various undertakings, both in the private and public sector, clearly underscored the power of discipline, focus and integrity.
The President commended Dr. 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.
Buhari believed 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 prayed that the almighty God would grant Dr. Kolade more wisdom, longer life and good health to continually serve the nation and humanity.
