    President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday felicitated Dr Biodun Shobanjo on his 80th birthday.

    The President joined the Shobanjo family, friends, and well-wishers in honouring the marketing communications expert, Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President’s spokesman, said in a statement.

    “Shobanjo and his team notably transformed Insight into a colossal marketing company, adding Quadrant, Nigeria’s first PR Consultancy, and All Seasons Mediacom, Nigeria’s first Media Independent.

    “Over time, he consolidated all the companies under the umbrella of the Troyka Organisation, including Halogen Security, which he founded in 1992,” said the statement.

    The President acknowledged Shobanjo’s contributions to advancing the marketing communications industry – a sector pivotal for fostering economic growth, social development, and infrastructural progress in Nigeria.

    He commended Shobanjo’s illustrious career journey and highlighted his achievements as a broadcaster, entrepreneur, and advertising professional.

    “President Tinubu notes that these accomplishments exemplify the virtues of discipline, integrity, and dedication, which inspire young professionals.

    “President Tinubu is confident that Dr Shobanjo will continue to impart his experience to practitioners who aspire to uphold best practices, which align with Nigeria’s national development goals.

    “He wishes Dr Shobanjo many more years of good health and continued success,” said the statement.
