President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday felicitated with Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as he clocked 64.
This is contained in a press statement released by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity.
The president joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Federal Executive Council (FEC) to celebrate with Boss.
He sent warm greetings to family, friends, professional and political associates of the legal luminary, party stalwart.
Buhari described Boss as a man whose visionary and inclusive leadership style continues to strengthen the governing party and the administration, with remarkable results.
As the SGF turns 64, the President noted with gratitude, his sacrifices and selfless service to the nation for close to four decades, taking a stand for democracy and good governance at an early age.
According to him, Boss works assiduously to raise structures and support causes that project the ideals of a liberal and accommodating nation, like serving in the Constituent Assembly in 1989, working on many committees and heading several government agencies.
The President affirmed that Mustapha has provided strong and commendable leadership as a rallying point for the Federal Executive Council, and demonstrated high-level patriotism by accepting the onerous position of Chairing the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, congratulating him and the team for steadily guiding Nigerians in the midst of health and economic uncertainties.
