President Bola Tinubu has extended warm congratulations to Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr., Chairman of Globacom and Conoil, in celebration of his birthday, lauding him as a shining example of resilience, hard work, and visionary leadership.
In a statement released on Monday, Tinubu reflected on Adenuga’s inspiring journey from modest beginnings to building thriving enterprises across banking, telecommunications, and the oil and gas sectors, emphasizing that his story exemplifies the rewards of determination and tenacity.
“Dr. Adenuga’s rise from humble roots is a true testament to the power of vision and the rewards of perseverance,” Tinubu stated. “His remarkable achievements in banking, telecommunications, oil, and gas are anchored in his humility and relentless work ethic.”
The President praised Adenuga’s transformative impact on Nigeria’s telecommunications landscape, particularly through Globacom’s pioneering introduction of per-second billing, which expanded digital access to millions. He also acknowledged Conoil’s success as a testament to the capacity of indigenous companies to compete alongside international oil giants and contribute to Nigeria’s energy security.
Highlighting Adenuga’s philanthropic efforts, Tinubu noted that the Mike Adenuga Foundation has made significant contributions in education, healthcare, and cultural development across Nigeria.
“Beyond business, Dr. Adenuga’s generosity has touched countless lives. Nigeria remains grateful for his substantial role in our nation’s growth and prosperity,” Tinubu added. “His ventures into other African nations and Europe, which earned him the Commander of the Legion of Honour from France and the Companion of the Star of Ghana, speak volumes about his bold vision.”
Tinubu concluded by praying for Adenuga’s continued good health, wisdom, and renewed inspiration as he continues to serve as a source of pride and encouragement to Nigerians.
Hobnob News reports that Adenuga’s legacy remains firmly rooted in his contributions to both Nigeria’s economy and its global standing.
