All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has congratulated prominent businesswoman, community leader and former schoolteacher, Alhaja Sadiat Abeke Erogbogbo, on turning 90.
Fondly called ‘Kind teacher,’ Asiwaju Tinubu recalled that Mama positively impacted the lives of many students who passed through her and set them on a good path in life.
In a special congratulatory letter to Mama on her 90th birthday personally signed by the APC leader, Tinubu commended Alhaja Erogbogbo for her devotion to Allah and life of service to humanity.
Noting that Mama is a committed member of Ansar-Ur-Deen Society, he said even in her old age, Mama continues to contribute significantly to the development of the organisation and propagation of Islam in the country.
The APC leader wishes Mama continued vitality, sound mind and robust health to witness more years in life.
Among the children of Alhaja Erogbogbo is Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa who is Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM).
Born in Kano in 1930. Alhaja Erogbogbo had her education at St Brighton School, Ebute-Metta, Ansar-Ur-Deen School and Hope Higher Institute all in Lagos. She worked as a teacher for many years in Kano, Lagos and Jos, during which she earned the moniker, Kind Teacher.’
