President Muhammadu Buhari has sent warm greetings to the first indigenous Managing Director of Nigerian Railways Corporation (NRC), Elder Nath C.U. Okoro, on his 90th birthday, congratulating the resourceful consultant for paying close attention and solidifying the foundation of rail transportation in the country.
President Buhari felicitates with friends, family and associates of Elder Okoro on the auspicious milestone, which calls for celebration of long life and strength, particularly considering his contributions to national development, with the commendable record of founding the Nigerian Institute of Transport Technology (NITT).
As the former MD of NRC turns 90, the President noted his love for the country, and passion for ensuring an effective transportation system, serving as the Principal Consultant, Federal Urban Mass Transit Programme (FUMTP) and President of the Chartered Institute of Transport, Nigeria, now known as Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT).

The President prayed that almighty God will grant him good health and strength to see the fruits of his dreams for the railways.
