Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has congratulated the Chairman of South West Development Commission (SWDC), Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi on his 70th birthday.
The Governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Yinka Oyebode, congratulated Senator Adetunmbi on attaining the landmark birthday in good health and sound mind.
He noted that Senator Adetunmbi’s life trajectory has been marked with diligent and distinguished service to his state, nation and humanity at large.
The Governor hailed the celebrant for making enduring impact as a technocrat in the development circles, a policy and boardroom guru, a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a statesman who is passionate about the growth and development of his state, the South West region and Nigeria as a whole.
He said Senator Adetunmbi showed the stuff he was made of during his tenure in the National Assembly with his well researched and highly detailed motions and debates delivered in lucid language, adding great value to legislative business and earning huge respect from his colleagues and accolades from Nigerians.
The Governor pointed out that Ekiti State is proud of Senator Adetunmbi and would always tap from his invaluable experience in taking the State to the peak of development through his interventions in economic planning as an Economic Adviser to the Governor, and Chairman of the State Economic Management Team, roles he played without drawing a salary.
While wishing the septuagenarian many happy returns of the day, the Governor prayed God to grant him long life, sound health and more success in his future endeavors for more service to humanity.
“On behalf of my family, the Government and good people of Ekiti State, we wish our highly cerebral Senator Adetunmbi a happy birthday as he joins the class of septuagenarians and pray that God continues to uphold and strengthen him through the years ahead”.
