Plateau State Governor and Chairman, Northern Governors Forum, Simon Bako Lalong has rejoiced with the Minister of Transport Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi on his 55th birthday.
Governor Lalong in a congratulatory message to the former Governor of Rivers State, described him as an achiever whose antecedents and achievements call for thanksgiving to God who has given him the privilege of service to Nigerians and humanity.
Lalong said, “I join all your friends, family, associates and well-wishers in rejoicing with you as you mark another year.
No doubt, God has been favourable to you and given you the privilege to serve your immediate community and the people of Nigeria in various capacities over the years. You have not failed in discharging your responsibilities with honesty, diligence and passion thereby changing the lives of ordinary people”.
He also asked the celebrant to continue to remain resolute and principled in matters concerning the peace, progress and unity of Nigeria as he has demonstrated over the years.
“Right from the time you were Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly to when you became Governor, and now Minister of Transport, you have left no one in doubt that you are a stickler to excellence, due process and justice. You have therefore left indelible footprints behind you, and Nigerians are today witnessing a revolution in the Transport Industry particularly the Railway sector since you took over. I pray God to give you the grace to continue to assist Mr. President as he restores the sector to full operations” Lalong said.
While wishing him many more years of joy and happiness, Lalong asked the Minister to continue to give his best to the growth and sustenance of Nigeria’s democracy, especially given his contributions in the Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) which he played a key role in its emergence, as well as victory at the polls in 2015 and 2019.
