Tinubu Rejoices With SGF George Akume On 70th Birthday 

President Bola Tinubu has rejoiced with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, on his 70th birthday.

The President, in a release issued by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, commended the SGF for his consistency and perpetual dedication to duty in coordinating the affairs of the government.

He also noted Senator Akume’s rich portfolio of leadership experience and laurels as governor, minister, senator, and top-flight public servant, which he brings to bear in his current role.

President Tinubu celebrates Senator Akume, extolling the temperance, affability, harmony, and stability he consistently personifies as he coordinates activities both within and with other arms of government; making himself accessible, focused, and dependable in bridging the divide between policy and implementation. 

According to the President: “George Akume is one of the most reliable citizens this country can boast of. The people of Benue have subscribed to his sterling leadership principles and leveraged his remarkable talent for so many years because of what he has always stood for. He will be with you in the best of days, and even most reliably, in the worst of days. The country has been blessed with the dedication and sure-handedness of Senator Akume”.

While wishing the Secretary to the Government of the Federation good health and strength, the President implored Senator Akume not to relent in his diligent service to the country.
