President Bola Tinubu has congratulated his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination and Head of the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU), Hadiza Bala-Usman, on her 50th birthday, marked on January 2, 2026.
The congratulatory message was contained in a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga.
President Tinubu described Bala-Usman as a dedicated patriot whose public service career reflects sacrifice, diligence, and commitment to national development.
The President noted that Bala-Usman’s nearly three decades in public service offer enduring lessons in purpose-driven leadership, recalling her early years at the Bureau of Public Enterprises, where she demonstrated exceptional clarity of vision and a strong grasp of structural reforms required to stimulate economic growth.
He described her leadership and outstanding achievements at the Abuja Enterprise Agency and the Nigerian Ports Authority as defining milestones, noting that she broke barriers, raised standards, and strengthened accountability in public administration.
President Tinubu also commended her political contributions, particularly her role in party organisation and institutional development within the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he said helped entrench internal processes, organisational effectiveness, and democratic values.
In her current role as Special Adviser and Head of the CRDCU, the President said Bala-Usman continues to distinguish herself through discipline, clear thinking, and a firm focus on results, contributing significantly to evidence-based governance and the realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
