Amb. James Momoh JP, CEO of Social Plus Africa Communications and Founder of GISA Care & Empowerment Foundation, Celebrates NADDC Director-General, Otunba Oluwemimo Joseph Osanipin, on His Birthday
On this special occasion of your birthday, I extend my warmest congratulations and heartfelt felicitations to Otunba Oluwemimo Joseph Osanipin, Director-General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC).
Today is more than a celebration of another year. It is an opportunity to acknowledge God’s faithfulness, grace, preservation and abundant blessings upon your life, your family and your years of dedicated service to Nigeria.
Your journey represents a remarkable combination of professional excellence, purposeful leadership, institutional commitment and an unwavering determination to contribute meaningfully to the development of Nigeria’s automotive industry.
Since assuming leadership of NADDC, your administration has continued to demonstrate a strong commitment to repositioning Nigeria’s automotive sector as a strategic pillar of national economic development.
Under your leadership, the Council has remained focused on advancing local automotive manufacturing, strengthening technical and human capacity, encouraging investment, promoting innovation and supporting the development of a more competitive automotive value chain.
Your vision extends beyond the production and assembly of vehicles. It encompasses the broader ecosystem required for a sustainable automotive industry—including local content development, skills acquisition, technology transfer, investment promotion, after-sales services, emerging mobility technologies and the development of indigenous capabilities.
These efforts reflect a leadership philosophy that understands that a strong automotive industry is not merely about vehicles; it is about jobs, technology, industrialisation, investment, skills, economic opportunities and national development.
One of the most commendable aspects of your leadership is the recognition that Nigeria must prepare for the future of mobility.
Your attention to innovation, electric mobility, new-energy vehicles, technology and modern automotive solutions demonstrates an appreciation of the changing global automotive landscape and the need for Nigeria to position itself strategically.
At a time when nations are competing for relevance in the emerging mobility economy, your leadership continues to reinforce the importance of ensuring that Nigeria is not merely a consumer of automotive technology but increasingly becomes a participant, producer, innovator and investment destination within the global automotive ecosystem.
Your commitment to technical training and human-capital development is equally worthy of recognition.
The future of Nigeria’s automotive industry ultimately depends on the availability of skilled technicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, innovators and professionals capable of driving the sector forward.
Your emphasis on capacity development therefore represents an investment not only in NADDC but in the future of Nigerian youths and the nation’s industrial workforce.
This is leadership with a long-term perspective—building institutions, developing people and creating opportunities that can outlive individual tenures.
Your professional background and experience have brought a valuable private-sector perspective into the leadership of NADDC.
That combination of corporate discipline, strategic thinking and public-sector responsibility has contributed to a leadership approach focused on results, partnerships and sustainable impact.
At Social Plus Africa Communications, we recognise and appreciate leaders who understand the importance of connecting policy with implementation, vision with action, and leadership with measurable national impact.
Your stewardship of NADDC continues to demonstrate the importance of competent leadership in driving institutional transformation.
As you mark another year today, I join your family, colleagues, friends, associates and well-wishers in giving thanks to Almighty God for His faithfulness over your life.
We celebrate the gift of life, good health, wisdom, strength and the opportunity to continue serving humanity and contributing to the progress of our great nation.
May this new chapter bring you greater wisdom, renewed strength, divine favour and many more opportunities to make a lasting difference.
May God continue to preserve you, bless your family, strengthen your leadership and grant you the grace to accomplish the greater responsibilities and assignments ahead.
On behalf of Social Plus Africa Communications, and personally as CEO, I warmly celebrate you, Otunba Oluwemimo Joseph Osanipin, on this remarkable occasion.
Your birthday is a celebration of life, leadership, service, achievement and God’s enduring faithfulness.
May the years ahead be marked by greater accomplishments, stronger institutions, deeper impact and remarkable contributions to the development of Nigeria’s automotive industry and the nation at large.
Happy Birthday, Sir.
May you enjoy many more years of sound health, wisdom, fulfilment, prosperity and distinguished service to Nigeria.
Congratulations and many happy returns!
