President Muhammadu Buhari rejoices with Mrs Pauline Alao, wife of the first Chief of Air Staff in Nigeria, Col Shittu Alao, as she turns 80 on November 7, 2021.
This was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity.
The President saluted the courage and resilient spirit of the celebrant who has not allowed the circumstances of her early deprivation to derail her passion for caring for the less privileged in the society, thereby giving them a better lease of life.
He commended Mrs Alao for her large heartedness and humanitarian activities, particularly as exemplified by the support she offers to widows, as they struggle with their unfortunate situation.
“As Mrs Alao gracefully turns octogenarian, President Buhari joins family and friends to pray that God will bless her with good health and prosperity to enable her carry on the good works for which she is being widely celebrated,” the statement said.
