The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Students Engagement, Sunday Asefon, will on June 12 mark his birthday with service to humanity.
Asefon said, “Rather than celebrating with luxury, I am choosing to celebrate by lifting others, reinforcing that leadership begins with presence and compassion”.
He stated, “In celebration of my birthday, I will be marking the occasion not with fanfare, but with service, giving back to those who represent the heart of the community.
“In an act that reflects my lifelong commitment to service, I will be distributing foodstuffs, not just meals for a day, but essential provisions that can support families for days to come”.
The presidential aide said that as part of the celebration, “I will be reaching out to 100 commercial bike operators in Ado-Ekiti who will be given free fuel and foodstuffs, and 500 students from institutions across the city, through the distribution of essential foodstuffs to support their welfare”.
He said, “This reach out is not just a gesture of goodwill, but a reminder that leadership is about empathy, impact, and proximity to the people. It is a personal yet symbolic expression of the Renewed Hope Agenda one that prioritizes people, dignity, and service.
“Indeed, birthdays are best celebrated in service to others.
“Let the legacy of impact continue”, Asefon said
