President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Minister of Steel Development, Shuaibu Abubakar Audu, on his birthday, acknowledging his contributions to the administration’s efforts to revitalise Nigeria’s steel industry.
In a congratulatory message issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President commended Audu’s role in facilitating investment discussions and partnerships aimed at strengthening domestic steel production.
Tinubu particularly recognised the Minister’s efforts towards reviving the Ajaokuta Steel Complex and other strategic assets in the steel sector.
The President also highlighted Audu’s more than two decades of professional experience in banking and finance, including corporate and investment banking, asset management and venture capital.
Before his appointment to the Federal Executive Council in August 2023, Audu held several senior positions at Stanbic IBTC Group, including Chief Executive Officer of its venture capital business.
His professional experience also includes engagements with the Bank of New York Mellon in the United States and Credit Suisse in Switzerland.
A graduate of the University of Leicester, Audu holds a master’s degree from Henley Business School, University of Reading, and an MBA from the University of Oxford.
Tinubu urged the Minister to remain committed to the administration’s objectives of improving domestic steel production, attracting investment and advancing Nigeria’s industrial development.
The President wished Audu good health, continued strength and success in his service to the country.
