Immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari has sent his birthday greetings to Olufunmilayo Mustapha, the wife of the immediate past Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, as she clocks 60.

The former president, in a statement issued by his media aide, Malam Garba Shehu, described Olufunmilayo as a strong pillar of strength for her husband and the country’s public service.

Buhari commended the contributions of the former SGF’s wife to the public service, from which she retired as a director in the Federal Civil Service.

He also sent his good wishes to Olufunmilayo as she retires as a director in the federal civil service.

The statement reads in part: “With Olufunmilayo and the rest of the family on his side, Boss Mustapha had all the support he needed in playing a crucial role in ensuring the success of our administration.

“Civil servants like Olufunmilayo Mustapha will continue to inspire generations to come.

“Have a healthy and joyful day,” concluded the former president.”
