President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated wife of former Head of State, Mrs Maryam Abacha on the occasion of her 75th years birthday.
Buhari’s congratulatory message was contained in a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant on Media & Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Thursday.
The President notes the warmth, large-hearted and charitable works of the matriarch of Abacha family, who used every God-given opportunity to reach out to the poor and underprivileged, formalising her good intentions by setting up a historic health institution like National Hospital for Women and Children, which was later turned to the National Hospital, Abuja.
He said that Maryam initiative and leadership transformed many lives across the country, particularly wives of military officers, girl-child, rural women and children.
The president prays for her wellbeing and that of her family.
