Gilbert Ramez Chagoury born in Nigeria, investing in Nigeria, and unwaveringly committed to Nigeria.
At 80, you stand as an enigma worthy of celebration.
In a world where many with a similar background choose distance or detachment, you chose commitment.
Through your investments, philanthropy, and enduring presence, you have shown quietly but convincingly what it means to truly belong.
You have demonstrated that being Nigerian is not merely a matter of origin, but of loyalty, contribution, and faith in the country’s future.
Nigeria is better for your belief in her.
We have many reasons to celebrate you today.
May you continue to do more.
May you live longer, stronger, and healthier.
May the years ahead be filled with purpose and fulfilment.
Happy 80th Birthday, and many happy returns.
