President Bola Tinubu has congratulated his Special Adviser on Policy Coordination and Head of the Central Results Delivery Coordination Unit (CRDCU), Mrs. Hadiza Bala-Usman, on the occasion of her 50th birthday, commending her sterling record of public service and contributions to national development.
In a State House press release dated January 1, 2026, the President described Bala-Usman as a dedicated patriot whose nearly three decades in public service exemplify diligence, sacrifice, and purpose-driven leadership.
President Tinubu recalled her early career at the Bureau of Public Enterprises, noting that even at a young age she demonstrated exceptional clarity of vision and a deep understanding of the structural reforms required to stimulate economic growth.
He further highlighted her leadership at the Abuja Enterprise Agency and the Nigerian Ports Authority as defining milestones, crediting her with breaking barriers, raising institutional standards, and strengthening accountability in public administration.
The President also praised Bala-Usman’s political contributions within the All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly her role in party organisation and institutional development, which he said helped entrench internal democracy, organisational effectiveness, and excellence.
Commending her current role as Special Adviser and Head of the CRDCU, President Tinubu said Bala-Usman continues to distinguish herself through discipline, clear thinking, and a strong focus on results, contributing significantly to evidence-based performance and the realisation of the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He prayed for strength, wisdom, good health, and grace for her to remain an inspiration to women, young people, and emerging leaders across the country as she marks her golden jubilee.
The statement was signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
