Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated literary giant and Nobel Laureate, Prof. Oluwole Soyinka, on the occasion of his 89th birthday, describing him as “a quintessential scholar and literary icon who has used his position and experience to contribute positively to literature, academics and governance globally.”
Sanwo-Olu said this on Wednesday in a congratulatory message issued by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Gboyega Akosile, noting that Soyinka is worth celebrating as one of Nigeria’s advocates of good governance.
This was just as he further noted that Soyinka, a 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature winner and the first sub-Saharan African to be honoured in that category, remains one of Nigeria’s pride and biggest exports to the world.
