French President Emmanuel Macron has facilitated with the chairman of Globacom Mike Adenuga on his 70th birthday.
In an April 27 letter, Macron thanked Adenuga for his “tremendous contribution” to strengthening the relationship between France and Nigeria in several aspects.
Macron said he sees the Nigerian entrepreneurial spirit in Adenuga’s success as a businessman.
“Your success is a source of inspiration for French entrepreneurs and has given the France Nigeria Business Council an initial impetus essential to its success as a dialogue platform.
“I also want to pay tribute to the philanthropic initiatives of the Pan-African Mike Adenuga Foundation and its contribution to an improved future for Nigerians and other African citizens, helping populations in need to achieve social and economic independence,” he said.
Macron stressed France’s gratitude for the establishment of Mike Adenuga Centre – Alliance Francaise “which has not only become the major architectural and cultural landmark of Lagos but a considerable asset for the cultural visibility of France in Nigeria and the dialogue between our cultures, with no equivalent on the continent.”
