President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETfund), Sonny Echono, on his 60th birthday.

Buhari, in a congratulatory message by his spokesman, Mr Femi Adesina on Saturday, felicitated the former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, who started his public service career in 1987.

According to the president, Echono has steadfastly and meritoriously served the nation in many capacities, sharing his depth of experience and knowledge, and making a positive impact in every position.

Buhari believed Echono’s youthful start, careful adherence to the culture of public service, patience in climbing the ladders, and regular update in attending courses, at home and abroad, separated him for distinction and leadership positions.

Echono had worked variously as Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (2014-2015), Federal Ministry of Communications (2015- 2017), and retired as the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education (2017 – January 2022).

Buhari applauded the Chief Executive Officer of TETfund for serving the country with foresight, humility, and diligence, with solid foundations as Director of Procurement in five key Ministries: Defence, Water Resources, Environment, Agriculture, and Rural Development as well as Power.

Echono, Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Architects, Founding Member and Trustee of the Procurement Professionals Association of Nigeria, had also served in many committees and Special Task Forces for reforms and policy formulations.

The president believed that Echono’s experience would support the nation in the march to greatness, especially in the educational sector.

He prayed that the Almighty God will keep and bless Echono and his family, and reward his sacrifices. (NAN)
