“Dr. Taiwo Afolabi is an astute employer of labour whose milk of kindness cannot be overemphasised. He has done so much within the maritime sector and beyond for the improvement of lives and the welfare of humanity,” Adeyanju said.

The former President-General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) further praised Afolabi’s philanthropy and generosity, describing him as a man deeply committed to uplifting others.

“He is a philanthropist of note, one whose generosity towards mankind knows no bounds,” he added.

Adeyanju apologised for the delay in delivering his birthday message, attributing it to his demanding official schedule, but stressed that his goodwill towards the business mogul remained unwavering.

“Though this message is coming a little late due to the nature of my assignments, my heart has always been with this industrial giant as he marks this milestone,” he stated.

He thanked God for preserving Afolabi’s life and prayed for continued good health, longevity, and greater prosperity.

“I pray that Almighty God continues to bless him with sound health, long life, and flourishing prosperity in all his endeavours,” Adeyanju said.

The labour leader also wished the SIFAX Group Chairman sustained business growth, noting that his contributions to the maritime industry and labour development deserve recognition and encouragement.

“Dr. Afolabi remains one entrepreneur whose contributions to the growth of labour and the maritime industry are worthy of commendation. Happy 65th birthday to him,” he concluded.
