Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has extended warm birthday wishes to billionaire industrialist and Chairman of BUA Group, Dr. Abdulsamad Rabiu, as he marks his 65th birthday.
In a congratulatory message shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, Atiku praised Rabiu for his outstanding contributions to national development and his service to humanity.
“I extend my warmest congratulations to my brother, Abdul Samad Rabiu (@asr_rabiu), CFR, CON., Founder and Chairman of @BUAgroup, as you mark your 65th birthday today,” Atiku wrote.
