The President praised her commitment to the welfare of the underprivileged, as well as her contributions to social justice for Nigerians at home and abroad.

“Abike has demonstrated love for the country and humanity over many years by consistently placing the welfare and well-being of the underprivileged at the centre of her work.

“Her patriotic role in attracting Diaspora talents to contribute to the country’s development, particularly in education, health, and sports, is commendable. She has justified the awards and recognition that have come her way.

“As you mark another special day, I pray for God’s blessings, wisdom and good health to carry on the good work you are championing,” the President said.

Dabiri-Erewa, a former member of the House of Representatives, chaired the House Committee on Media and Publicity and headed the House Committee on Diaspora Affairs while representing her Ikorodu Constituency from 2003 to 2015.
