Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, marked a significant personal milestone on Tuesday, June 25, 2025, as he turned 60. In a deeply reflective and heartfelt message shared on his official Facebook page, the Governor opened up about the journey so far, the lessons learned, and the gratitude that fills his heart.
“Today, I turn 60,” he began simply. “Sixty years of experiences, lessons, and blessings. I woke up this morning feeling grateful, not just for the years, but for the journey itself.”
In the post, which has since drawn thousands of reactions from well-wishers across Nigeria and beyond, Governor Sanwo-Olu used the occasion not just to celebrate, but to reflect on his life in public service—a path he described as “one of the highest callings.”
“It’s not always easy,” he wrote, “but it’s deeply fulfilling. Every day, I wake up knowing there’s more to do, more to give, more to build.”
The Governor shared that serving the people of Lagos has been both humbling and transformative, teaching him important values such as patience, resilience, and the power of listening. He admitted that even at 60, he remains a student of life.
“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.”
With an overwhelming tone of gratitude, Sanwo-Olu thanked Lagosians for their trust and support, reaffirming his commitment to continue building a Lagos that works for all.
“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.”
Governor Sanwo-Olu's birthday message stands as a poignant reminder of the human side of leadership—a blend of duty, growth, and enduring service.
As congratulatory messages continue to pour in from colleagues, citizens, and political leaders, many have hailed him not just for his administrative strides, but for the humility and sincerity that mark his leadership.
Indeed, at 60, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s reflections echo far beyond the walls of government, serving as a beacon of thoughtful service and lifelong learning.
