INITIATIVE for Leadership Development and Change (ILDC), an Abuja-based NGO, has commended President Bola Tinubu for not celebrating his birthday, saying it indicated his sensitivity to the nation’s economic realities.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that President Bola Tinubu had opted for a low key celebration of his birthday on March 29.

Chief Ugochukwu Nnam, President of the association, gave the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday.

Nnam said Tinubu’s action as a demonstration of true leadership quality and empathy.

He said Tinubu is one of few national leaders in the country that have denied themselves the luxury of a lavish birthday.

“He shares our pain, having opted for a low key birthday shows that he is responsive and focused to rebuild Nigeria,” he said.

Nnam, who reiterated the commitment of his association to supporting Tinubu, urged Nigerians to rally behind him.

The ILDC boss expressed optimism in Tinubu’s ability to rescue Nigeria from its economic challenges.

Nnam affirmed his belief that Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda would restore food and economic security in the near future.

According to him, Tinubu leads by example evidence that he is fully informed about the situation on ground.

NAN reports that Tinubu had directed Nigerians not to celebrate his 72nd birthday due to the state of the nation. (NAN)
