As Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu marks his 60th birthday, there has been an outpouring of widespread commendations for his visionary leadership and impactful governance in Nigeria’s economic hub. Among the notable tributes was a heartfelt message from Owolabi Jamiu Falana, the youngest Board Member of the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), who lauded the Governor’s unwavering dedication to youth empowerment, education reform, and infrastructure development.
In his birthday statement, Falana highlighted Governor Sanwo-Olu’s exceptional commitment to uplifting young Lagosians through progressive policies and opportunities. He particularly praised the Governor’s unprecedented investments in education, which have significantly improved learning infrastructure, teacher welfare, and access to quality education across the state. These efforts, Falana noted, align with Governor Sanwo-Olu’s broader vision of creating a more inclusive and prosperous Lagos.
The SUBEB Board Member also commended the Governor’s landmark achievements in transportation, specifically the successful implementation of the Blue and Red Rail lines. These projects, which represent critical milestones in Lagos’s mass transit evolution, have eased commuting challenges for millions of residents while setting a new standard for urban infrastructure in Nigeria.
Falana further emphasized Governor Sanwo-Olu’s steadfast loyalty to the RenewedHope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, showcasing how the Governor’s policies have consistently reflected the federal government’s commitment to sustainable development and economic growth.
“As you celebrate this diamond jubilee, we do not just honor your years but the enduring legacy of transformative leadership you have built,” Falana stated. “Your administration has redefined governance in Lagos, from education to transportation, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of millions. On behalf of countless beneficiaries of your visionary policies, I pray for your continued good health and wisdom as you guide Lagos to greater heights.”
