President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has felicitated a foremost business leader and investor, Mr Tajudeen Afolabi Adeola, as he marks his 70th birthday.
Born on the 10th of January, 1954, Mr Adeola co-founded the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank Plc.) in 1990. The bank has since expanded beyond Nigeria to other neighbouring African countries (The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Liberia) and the United Kingdom.
He is also a member of the Commission for Africa and founder of the FATE Foundation, a non-profit organization that enables aspiring and emerging Nigerian entrepreneurs to start, grow, and scale their businesses.
In a statement signed by the President’s Spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, President Tinubu extolled the brilliance, integrity, courage, and patriotism of the founder of one of Nigeria’s leading banks, describing him as an asset to the nation.
The president congratulated Mr Adeola on reaching the milestone age, commending his numerous contributions to the Nigerian business ecosystem by creating jobs, opening up investment opportunities across sectors, as well as promoting initiatives for the country’s economic advancement.
President Tinubu wished the top business leader many more years in good health and strength.
