President Muhammadu Buhari sends warm greetings to wife of former Head of State, Mrs Maryam Abacha on her 75th birthday, congratulating the former President of Nigeria Army Officers Wives’ Association (NAOWA), 1985-1990, on the milestone.
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, formalizing 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.
President Buhari congratulates Mrs Abacha, her family and friends on the auspicious occasion of her 75th birthday, affirming that her initiative and leadership transformed many lives across the country, particularly wives of military officers, girl-child, rural women and children.
