President Bola Tinubu has joined other to congratulate the Chairman of Globacom and Conoil, Dr Mike Adenuga Jr, on the occasion of his birthday, describing him as a symbol of resilience, hard work, and vision.
In a statement on Monday, Tinubu said Adenuga’s journey from humble beginnings to building successful businesses across banking, telecommunications, and oil and gas reflected the rewards of determination and diligence.
“Dr. Adenuga’s life, from humble beginnings, is a testament to the power of vision and the outcome of resilience. His humility and diligence have enabled him to succeed in banking, telecommunications, oil, and gas.
“The man Nigerians affectionately call ‘The Guru’ has, through determination and hard work, built businesses that have created thousands of jobs for our people,” the President wrote.
Tinubu praised Adenuga for his revolutionary role in Nigeria’s telecommunications sector, noting that Globacom’s introduction of per-second billing expanded digital access to millions of Nigerians.
He also commended Conoil for demonstrating that indigenous firms could compete with international oil companies and contribute to Nigeria’s energy independence.
Tinubu added, “Beyond his business achievements, Dr. Adenuga’s philanthropy, through the Mike Adenuga Foundation, has touched many lives—supporting tertiary education, healthcare, and cultural advancement across our nation.
“Dr. Adenuga, Nigeria is grateful for your immense contributions to our country’s progress and prosperity.
“I commend you for extending your investments to other African countries and Europe, a bold effort which earned you well-deserved honours as Commander of the Legion of Honour (France) and Ghana’s Companion of the Star of Ghana.”
Tinubu prayed for continued good health, wisdom, and renewed vision for Adenuga, as he continues to inspire others through his work and service to Nigeria.
