HEARTY 59 CHEERS TO MY FRIEND
I write to felicitate the immediate past minister of state for petroleum resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, on the occasion of his 59th birthday.
It is not an easy feat to clock 59, knowing that such an age comes with unquantifiable knowledge, experience and achievements which Sylva does not lack.
I am happy that at 59, Sylva, my dear friend, has attained remarkable successes, contributed meaningfully to the lives of many as well as attracted reasonable development to our state and communities. Not to mention the enormous challenges he has surmounted in his life journey so far.
Sylva is one of the most brilliant, ambitious, focused, hardworking, resilient and favoured people I know. His life keeps inspiring others especially young ones who wish to attain greater heights. We are always proud of him as our kinsman and comrade that keeps rising and shining.
I am using the occasion of his birthday to thank him for sustaining our friendship that has spanned for decades. As he celebrates his birthday, I wish him more of God’s graces upon him and his entire household.
Happy birthday my brother and friend.
