Board Chairman of the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, Engineer. Kayode Ojo, has felicitated with the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Henry Oladele-Alake, on his 68th birthday.
Ojo in a statement issued on Sunday through his media aide, Deji Aiyelabowo,
described the minister as “a tested politician with huge contributions to Ekiti State and Nigeria in general.
“The Minister is a politician with deep developmental ideas, a leader with a big vision of a new society with transformative agenda that appears to be ahead of his time.
“Dr Dele Alake is an engine of ideas with an entrenched philosophical mind that introduced intellectualism into the governance process with his office as the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, his personality and street credibility are only little ways of describing him.
“I pay homage to a brother, mentor, leader and a father whose political reach and impact endears him warmly to the grassroots and whose records from Lagos to Ekiti to the national level are watersheds and landmarks on their own.
“We cannot wish away your huge contributions to our dear Ekiti State and national developments.
“It is on this note that I associate with you on this occasion of your 68th birthday, happy birthday and wishing you very many happy returns,”the statement concluded.
The FUOYE Board Chairman prayed for good health and long life for the Minister and urged him not to relent in his service to God and humanity.
