President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, extends warm congratulations to one of Nigeria’s leading industrialists and philanthropists, Abdul Samad Rabiu, CFR, Chairman of BUA Group and Founder of ASR Africa, as he marks his 66th birthday on August 4.
The President joins Mr. Rabiu’s family, friends, business associates, and the wider Nigerian business community in celebrating a distinguished entrepreneur whose life and achievements embody vision, resilience, innovation, and an unwavering belief in Nigeria’s immense potential.
President Tinubu commends Abdul Samad Rabiu for his outstanding contributions to Nigeria’s industrialisation and economic growth through strategic investments that have boosted local manufacturing, enhanced food security, created thousands of employment opportunities, and reinforced the competitiveness of indigenous businesses across Africa.
The President said: “Abdul Samad Rabiu represents the very best of Nigerian enterprise. Over the years, he has consistently demonstrated that lasting success is built through hard work, innovation, and sustained investment rather than short-term gains. Even during challenging times, he has remained steadfast in his commitment to Nigeria’s economic future.
“His legacy extends far beyond the impressive scale of his businesses. It is reflected in the industries he has established, the jobs they provide, the communities they uplift, and the confidence they inspire in the promise of our nation. Through ASR Africa, he has equally demonstrated that genuine success comes with a responsibility to support education, healthcare, and other institutions that improve the lives of our people.
“As our administration advances policies aimed at building a stronger, more competitive, and inclusive economy, we value visionary entrepreneurs like Abdul Samad Rabiu, whose investments complement our efforts to accelerate national development and shared prosperity.”
President Tinubu prays that Almighty Allah will continue to bless Abdul Samad Rabiu with good health, wisdom, and renewed strength, granting him many more years of fruitful service to Nigeria, Africa, and humanity.
