Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is celebrating his 60th birthday today, June 25. To mark the special occasion, he shared fresh photos and a personal message on Instagram.

The governor said turning 60 gave him a chance to stop and think about his life. He said he felt thankful, not just for reaching this age, but also for everything he has experienced so far.

In his message, Sanwo-Olu wrote that his 60 years have been full of lessons and blessings. He woke up feeling grateful—not just because of his age, but because of the journey that brought him here.

He explained that birthdays like this give him time to reflect. One important thing he’s learned over the years is that serving the public is one of the greatest responsibilities anyone can have. Though it comes with challenges, it brings deep satisfaction.

The governor also shared that working in public service has taught him many life lessons. He has learned how to be patient, how to listen better, and how to keep moving forward—even when things are tough. And he admits that he is still learning every day.

In closing, Sanwo-Olu thanked God for life, Lagosians for their trust, and for the chance to keep working for a purpose bigger than himself.
