President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Sola Enikanolaiye, on his 65th birthday.

The President described him as a distinguished diplomat and dedicated public servant whose career reflects professionalism and commitment to Nigeria.

Enikanolaiye, who marks the day on September 14, served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1982 to 2017, rising to the position of Permanent Secretary. He later worked as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Foreign Affairs and International Relations before his current appointment.

Tinubu praised the minister’s contributions to Nigeria’s diplomatic service through assignments at the ministry headquarters and in missions abroad. He also acknowledged his role in shaping and implementing the country’s foreign policy and its engagements at the United Nations, African Union, Commonwealth and other international bodies.

The President said Enikanolaiye’s appointment as Minister of State was a fitting recognition of his long record of service and extensive diplomatic experience. He expressed confidence that the minister would continue to strengthen Nigeria’s diplomatic institutions and advance the nation’s interests on the global stage.

In his message, Tinubu prayed that Enikanolaiye would continue to enjoy good health, wisdom and strength to keep serving the country.
