I am deeply overwhelmed by the immense love, goodwill, prayers, congratulatory messages, phone calls, visits, and kind gestures extended to me on the occasion of my birthday celebration, which also coincided with my induction as a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Economists of Nigeria (ICEN) on 25th July, 2026.
This double celebration made the day exceptionally special and unforgettable. Your thoughtful expressions of love and encouragement added immeasurable joy to the occasion and made it a cherished milestone in my life.

Your support, goodwill, and inspiring words are deeply valued and will always remain close to my heart.
Being inducted as a Fellow of ICEN is not only a personal achievement but also a renewed call to greater service, professionalism, integrity, and commitment to the advancement of the economics profession and national development. I am encouraged by your confidence in me and remain dedicated to upholding the ideals and values of the Institute.
As I begin another year and embrace this new professional milestone, I pray that Almighty God will abundantly bless each and every one of you, grant you good health, divine favour, lasting peace, and outstanding success in all your endeavours.
