President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday graciously hosted billionaire industrialist Chief Razak Okoya, his wife Shade Okoya, and their son at his private Lagos residence, marking one of the highlights of the ongoing Eid-el-Kabir celebrations in the state.
The meeting, which took place in a warm and festive atmosphere, served as an opportunity for the President to exchange goodwill with prominent Nigerians during the sacred Muslim holiday. Chief Okoya, a legendary businessman and the founder of the widely recognized Eleganza Group, was accompanied by his wife and child, showcasing the family’s appreciation for the President's leadership and their support for national unity.
The Okoya family’s visit is one of several high-level engagements President Tinubu has undertaken since his arrival in Lagos on May 27, where he has been actively involved in both national duties and community-based festivities tied to Eid.
In addition to private receptions, President Tinubu has presided over significant events such as the 50th anniversary of ECOWAS, reinforcing Nigeria’s regional leadership role. He also commissioned various infrastructural projects across Lagos, underscoring his administration’s commitment to development and modernization.
The president's decision to celebrate Eid in Lagos is symbolic of his connection to the people and his dedication to fostering inclusive dialogue with citizens and influential stakeholders from different walks of life. His interactions with notable figures like the Okoyas emphasize a leadership style rooted in accessibility and community bonding.
Following the conclusion of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations, President Tinubu is scheduled to return to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to resume official state functions and continue his governance agenda for a united and prosperous Nigeria.
