HAPPY 85TH BIRTHDAY YOUR EXCELLENCY.

On this auspicious occasion of your 85th birthday, the Management and entire Community of Women Enterprise Alliance (WenA) join millions of Nigerians and well-wishers around the world to celebrate an extraordinary statesman, visionary leader, and a true patriot.

Your Excellency, your administration laid strong and enduring foundations for enterprise development in Nigeria. Through your progressive policies and bold initiatives, you recognized the immense potential of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as catalysts for economic growth, job creation and national prosperity.

Your vision extended beyond structures and policies. You championed self-reliance, agriculture, and local production, empowering countless small businesses, cooperatives and rural enterprises, many of which were led by women. Your belief in the capacity of Nigerian women to contribute meaningfully to nation-building continues to inspire and resonate with our work every day.

Today, as we celebrate you, we honour not only your years but your legacy of impact, opportunity and empowerment.

We are grateful for the doors you opened, the systems you built, and the lives you touched. Your contributions remain woven into the fabric of Nigeria’s development story and continue to inspire generations of leaders and entrepreneurs.

We pray for continued good health, peace, joy and fulfilment as you mark this remarkable milestone.

Happy 85th Birthday,
Our Respected Leader and Father of the Nation.

You might be building quietly, growing steadily, figuring things out as you go, but moments like this? They can shift everything.
The AIB Founders’ Award 2026 isn’t just recognition. It’s a doorway.

Here’s what nomination really does:
* Puts your work in front of the right people
* Strengthens how your brand is seen and taken seriously
* Opens doors to partnerships, growth, and new opportunities

Sometimes, it is not that you are not doing enough.
It’s that not enough people have seen what you are building yet.
Recognition has a way of changing that.
So if you’re a woman building something bold, something innovative, something with real potential, this is not the time to stay in the background.
Step forward. Be seen.
