Tinubu also commended Jibrin’s record in public service, particularly his leadership of the House Committees on Finance, Appropriations, Land Transport, Foreign Affairs, and Housing and Habitat.

According to the President, Jibrin’s work in the committees exposed him to some of the most consequential issues surrounding Nigeria’s public finance, fiscal policy, infrastructure and housing.

He also acknowledged Jibrin’s service at the Federal Housing Authority as Executive Director.

“Abdulmumin Jibrin represents a generation of Nigerians whose pursuit of knowledge, enterprise, and public service has been driven by a desire to make a difference. His journey from scholarship and business into national politics reflects intellectual curiosity, resilience, and a deep commitment to Nigeria,” Tinubu said.

The President said Jibrin had much to celebrate at 50 but expressed confidence that his “most consequential contributions to our nation are still ahead.”

“As he marks this golden milestone, I wish him renewed strength, sound health, wisdom, and greater fulfilment in the years ahead, and I urge him to continue deploying his experience and knowledge in mentoring younger Nigerians, strengthening democratic institutions, and advancing the development of Kano State and Nigeria,” Tinubu stated.
