Abuja, January 1, 2026 — President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the Special Adviser on Policy Coordination and Head of the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU), Hadiza Bala-Usman, for her sterling achievements in public service as she marks her 50th birthday on January 2, 2026.
In a congratulatory message, the President described Bala-Usman as a dedicated patriot whose distinguished public career embodies service, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to national development. He noted that her nearly three decades of service offer enduring lessons in diligence, discipline, and purpose-driven leadership.
President Tinubu recalled her early years at the Bureau of Public Enterprises, where she demonstrated exceptional clarity of vision and a firm grasp of the structural reforms required to drive sustainable economic growth, even at a young age.
He further highlighted her leadership roles at the Abuja Enterprise Agency and the Nigerian Ports Authority as defining milestones, praising her for breaking barriers, raising institutional standards, and strengthening accountability within public administration.
The President 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 democracy, organisational effectiveness, excellence, and democratic values.
Speaking on her current role, President Tinubu said Bala-Usman continues to distinguish herself as an astute public administrator, driven by discipline, clear thinking, and a strong focus on results.
“Her efforts have helped strengthen the governance framework, evidence-based performance, and enhanced the realisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda. I thank her for her single-minded commitment to our administration and national service,” the President said.
President Tinubu prayed for continued strength, wisdom, good health, and grace for Bala-Usman, expressing hope that she will remain an inspiration to women, young people, and emerging leaders across the country as she celebrates the landmark golden jubilee.
