In a message posted on X (formerly Twitter) early Monday, the president described Seyi as “focused and compassionate,” commending his continuous efforts to support community development through youth and charity programs. “Your commitment to service and the well-being of others reflects the values we hold dear,” Tinubu wrote.
To commemorate the milestone, friends and supporters of Seyi Tinubu launched a national initiative to distribute one million Bibles across Nigeria. The project, organizers said, aims to encourage moral rebirth and positive values among young people. The first dedication ceremony took place at the National Christian Centre in Abuja, drawing religious leaders, youth representatives, and government officials.
“We believe this project will inspire hope and faith in many homes,” said one of the organizers during the event, noting that the Bible distribution campaign would continue in all six geopolitical zones in the coming months.
In a related effort, the Noella Foundation, co-founded by Seyi Tinubu, announced new plans focusing on healthcare, education, and entrepreneurship support. The foundation said the initiatives would help expand access to medical care for rural communities and provide start-up grants for young entrepreneurs.
“Our mission is to empower Nigerians through sustainable programs that create lasting impact,” the foundation said in a statement shared with journalists in Abuja.
The 40th birthday celebration also featured cultural and musical tributes. Veteran Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1) released a special birthday song for Seyi, which quickly went viral across social media platforms. While many fans praised the gesture as a symbol of respect and unity, others criticized what they described as excessive celebration amid the nation’s economic challenges.
Social media users expressed mixed feelings. Supporters applauded Seyi’s philanthropic record, citing his youth development projects and charitable drives. Critics, however, questioned the public attention surrounding the birthday, urging more focus on pressing national issues.
Despite the differing opinions, the event highlighted Seyi Tinubu’s growing public profile and continued involvement in humanitarian activities. Observers note that his work with various youth and charity groups has helped shape conversations about private sector participation in national development.
Born in 1985, Seyi Tinubu is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and social advocate known for his work in advertising, youth empowerment, and philanthropy. Through partnerships with private and non-governmental organizations, he has launched several initiatives aimed at supporting education and job creation for Nigerian youths.
The day’s activities concluded with thanksgiving services held in Lagos and Abuja, where family members, friends, and associates offered prayers for continued wisdom and impact in the years ahead.
As President Tinubu summed up in his message: “At 40, may your journey continue to be guided by faith, service, and compassion — the virtues that make life meaningful.”
