President Muhammadu Buhari congratulates top industrialist
and Chairman of the Eleganza Group of companies, Chief Rasaq Akanni Okoya on
his 78th birthday.
President Buhari felicitates with all business associates,
family and friends of the astute businessman, who through vision, hardwork and
entrepreneurship completely altered the business landscape of Nigeria, and West
Africa, by starting a cottage industry in the early 70’s that blossomed
into a multi-billion naira empire, with a strong household name.
The President commends the Aare of Lagos for his generosity
in providing for the less privileged, especially scholarships for people to
further their education, and funds to jumpstart small businesses, which he
personally provides mentorship.
President Buhari believes the Chairman of the Eleganza Group
of companies, and his likes in the country, have set the right standards for
weaning the country off dependence on one commodity, and assuaging the growing
thirst for start-ups by exploring the benefits of personal savings, investments
and building global business conglomerates.
The President prays that the almighty God will give Chief
Okoya good health, longer life and more strength to serve the country and
humanity.
