President Bola Tinubu has felicitated the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Mallam Mele Kyari, as he marks his 59th birthday on Monday.

The President commended the diligence, passion, and expertise the geologist brought to tasks as one of the longest-tenured chief executives in the history of Africa’s most valuable energy company.

“Mele is a man of action, rather than words. He is proactive in his approach. His ability to diagnose complicated problems with thoughtful and pragmatic solutions has created a path for him to continue rendering valuable service to our nation,” he said.

The President prayed that Almighty Allah grant the business executive more wisdom and strength in his service to Nigeria.
