President Muhammadu Buhari has hailed Mr. Akintola Williams, a doyen of the accounting profession in Nigeria for clocking 96 recently, even as he still continues to play prominent roles in the nation development.
In a message on the occasion of this year’s Akintola Williams Distinguished Lecture Series, wondered with joy that the nonagenarian is still strong at such a grand old age of 96, to be relevant through the lecture series which were established to promote integrity, professionalism and sound corporate governance in Nigeria.
The President commended Williams and the organisers of the annual lecture series on their choice of this year’s theme: “Leadership Factors And Good Corporate Governance – Key to National Growth and Development.”
The President described the theme as very apt and topical as he prepares to inaugurate a new Federal Executive Council (FEC) to drive the implementation of his administration’s agenda for national renaissance with the support and cooperation of all patriots and stakeholders in the well-being of Nigeria.
President Buhari congratulated Akintola Williams on his 96th birthday anniversary which was marked recently.
He prayed to God, who has blessed Mr. Williams with such extraordinary longevity in the service of his nation and humanity, to grant him many more years of good health and worthy contributions to the development of his fatherland. [myad]
