AZUH ARINZE
My family and I join millions of Nigerians and well-wishers around the world to celebrate a remarkable milestone in the life of an extraordinary leader—Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as he turns 60.
Your journey through life has been nothing short of inspiring. From your early beginnings in politics to becoming the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Governor of Rivers State, and later the Honourable Minister of Transportation, you have consistently demonstrated courage, tenacity, and an unshakable commitment to progress.
Your legacy speaks volumes. As Governor, you ushered in transformative changes in education, infrastructure, and public health. As Minister, your vision redefined Nigeria’s railway system and transportation framework, paving the way for modernization and greater national connectivity.
But beyond the titles and accomplishments, it is your boldness, resilience, and fearless advocacy for what you believe in that sets you apart. You have shown generations that leadership is not about comfort, but about conviction—about standing firm even when the path is rough, and speaking truth, even when it is unpopular.
At 60, your life is a testament to purpose-driven leadership. May this new decade be filled with continued grace, wisdom, and fulfillment. May you enjoy the rewards of your labour and find joy in the legacy you are building.
Happy Birthday, Sir. My family and I salute you.
