President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, has said the former Nigerian military president Ibrahim Babangida can be proud of his contributions to the defence, unity, political and sociology-economic development of Nigeria.

Lawan said this in his message of felicitation to Babangida on the occasion of his 79th birthday coming up on August 17.

In the statement released by his Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi in Abuja on Sunday, the Senate President also noted that Babangida had remained passionate about Nigeria more than two decades after his exit from active public service while urging him to continue to avail those in leadership positions the benefits of his experience and wise counsel.

Such wise counsel, he said, was necessary for the unity, stability and progress of the nation, even as he wished the General many more years of good health and peace of mind. (NAN)
