President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday felicitated with Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, on his 5oth birthday, congratulating him on his many years of contribution to the nation as a lawyer and human rights activist.
“President Buhari joins All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwarts, family members, friends and professional colleagues of the erudite lawyer in celebrating the landmark age, and the wisdom of making sacrificial choices that have brought recognitions, awards, and most recently a ministerial position,” said a statement by the presidency.
“Our faith in the younger generation is renewed seeing the way you have conducted yourself; making sacrifices for the greater good of the country, and humanity,’’ the President said.
