I joined my fellow Traditional Rulers and other distinguished guests to honour my dear Iranse rere and brother, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Salam, as he celebrated his 57th birthday. For me, it was more than a birthday celebration. It was an opportunity to honour a man whose commitment to his people and investment in the younger generation deserve recognition. As part of the celebration, Salam brought together over 200 students from across his Federal Constituency for a several-day leadership boot camp, creating a platform for young minds to learn, build confidence, develop leadership values and prepare for greater responsibilities ahead. As a Royal Father, I am particularly encouraged whenever I see initiatives that deliberately invest in our young people.
Their development is an investment in the future of our communities and our nation. It was therefore a pleasure to stand alongside fellow Traditional Rulers in celebrating Salam at 57 and acknowledging his contribution to the growth and development of his people. Happy 57th Birthday, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Salam. May Almighty God continue to grant you wisdom, strength, good health and many more years of meaningful service and impact. Aseyi samodun, l’áṣẹ Edumare.
