Tinubu Congratulates Margaret Shonekan On 85th Birthday

Published October 28, 2026 · Salama

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Margaret Shonekan, former First Lady of Nigeria, on her 85th birthday.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President celebrated Chief Shonekan’s distinguished life of service, her contributions to public administration, and her commitment to the advancement of education and national development.

The statement acknowledged her remarkable career in the public service, particularly her years of dedicated service at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), where she rose through the ranks to become Head of the Nigerian National Office.

It further noted that, as the wife of the late Chief Ernest Shonekan, who led Nigeria’s Interim National Government in 1993, she maintained a dignified presence and earned respect for her contributions to the nation.

President Tinubu wished the celebrant a happy 85th birthday and expressed appreciation for her years of service and contributions to Nigeria’s development.
