In a statement, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, acknowledged Babangida’s significant contributions to Nigeria’s development, particularly in infrastructure.
Tinubu commended Babangida’s visionary leadership, highlighting the completion of the Third Mainland Bridge, a landmark project that held the record as Africa’s longest bridge at the time. The President recognized Babangida’s enduring impact on modern Nigeria, expressing gratitude for his dedicated service to the nation.
Wishing the former military president continued good health, Tinubu’s message honors Babangida’s legacy and celebrates his life’s work. Babangida, affectionately known as IBB, led Nigeria as military president from 1985 to 1993, leaving a lasting imprint on the country’s history.
