Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is celebrating his 60th birthday with an emotional message reflecting on his life, lessons, and journey in public service
In a post shared on his official social media pages, the governor expressed deep gratitude for the gift of life, the trust of Lagosians, and the opportunity to serve.
“Today, I turn 60.
Sixty years of experiences, lessons, and blessings. I woke up this morning feeling grateful—not just for the years, but for the journey itself.”
Describing the milestone as a moment of pause and reflection, Sanwo-Olu emphasized the profound responsibilities and rewards of leadership.
“I’ve learned that public service is one of the highest callings. It’s not always easy, but it’s deeply fulfilling. Every day, I wake up knowing there’s more to do, more to give, more to build.”
He acknowledged that the path of governance comes with challenges but said it has also taught him patience, humility, and the importance of listening.
“Public service teaches you a great deal. It teaches patience. It teaches you how to listen, and how to keep going even when the path is difficult. I’m still learning. I’m always learning.”
Sanwo-Olu closed his message with gratitude to the people of Lagos and a renewed commitment to their service.
“So today, I’m thankful—for life, for the trust of Lagosians, the people I serve, and for the opportunity to keep working toward something greater than myself.”
