A CELEBRATION OF A LEGENDARY ICON:
Happy Birthday to an Elder Statesman, a Beacon of Hope, and a Pillar of Transformational Leadership – Engr. Sani Ndanusa, FNSE, FNICE, FNIM, Marafan Nupe, Ubandoman Jiwa.
On this glorious occasion of your birthday, I, Otunba Aiyeku Olufemi Samuel, Ph.D., extend my heartfelt congratulations and warmest wishes to a man whose life continues to be a symbol of visionary leadership, selfless philanthropy, and generational impact.
You are not just a leader — you are a movement. A reformist administrator whose legacy is interwoven with community emancipation, youth empowerment, public sector innovation, and infrastructural transformation. Your deep passion for *girl-child education* and your tireless pursuit of affordable and qualitative learning for underserved communities remain sterling testaments to your unshakable belief in equity and inclusion.
Your name is boldly etched in the annals of service as a development strategist, mentor to the rising generation, advocate of good governance, and a celebrated father figure to many across the nation.
> *”True greatness lies not in the number of titles held but in the lives lifted.”*
> *“Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.”*
> *”He who educates one child saves a generation; but he who educates the girl-child transforms the future of a nation.”*
As a servant of the people and the divine, your steps have consistently been guided by the principles of justice, equity, and compassion.
May *Allah (SWT)* bless you with *Barakah* in your years, wisdom in your decisions, strength in your limbs, peace in your heart, and Nur in your legacy.
*Qur’anic Prayers for You:*
> *“And We have certainly honored the children of Adam…”* – **Surah Al-Isra (17:70)**
> *“Indeed, those who have said, ‘Our Lord is Allah’ and then remained steadfast – the angels will descend upon them saying, ‘Do not fear or grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise…’”* – **Surah Fussilat (41:30)**
> *“And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer – those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged \[even as much as] the speck on a date seed.”* – **Surah An-Nisa (4:124)**
May this new year bring you even greater platforms of influence, deeper fulfillment, and a long life of peace, health, and divine favour.
Happy Birthday once again to the inimitable leader of people, the builder of futures, and the pride of Nupe land.
