President Tinubu Lauds Hadiza Bala-Usman On 50th Birthday

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination and Head of the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU), Hadiza Bala-Usman, for her sterling public service record as she celebrates her 50th birthday.

In a congratulatory message issued by the Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President described Bala-Usman as a dedicated patriot whose nearly three decades in public service exemplify service, sacrifice, and commitment to national development.

President Tinubu said her career offers enduring lessons in diligence and purpose-driven leadership, recalling her early years at the Bureau of Public Enterprises, where she demonstrated clarity of vision and a strong grasp of the structural reforms required to drive economic growth.

The President noted that Bala-Usman’s leadership and achievements at the Abuja Enterprise Agency and the Nigerian Ports Authority were defining milestones, stressing that she broke barriers, raised standards, and strengthened accountability in public administration.

He also commended her political contributions, particularly her role in party organisation and institutional development within the All Progressives Congress, which the President said helped entrench internal processes, organisational effectiveness, excellence, and democratic values.

“In her current role as Special Adviser and Head of the CRDCU, Hadiza continues to distinguish herself as an astute public administrator through discipline, clear thinking, and a firm focus on results,” the President said.

According to him, her efforts have strengthened governance frameworks, promoted evidence-based performance, and enhanced the realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.

“I thank her for her single-minded commitment to our administration and national service. I pray for strength, wisdom, good health, and grace for her to remain an inspiration to women, young people, and emerging leaders across the country as she celebrates this landmark 50th birthday,” President Tinubu added.
