Tinubu celebrates Akintola Williams at 104
President Bola Tinubu rejoices with Dean of Accountancy in Nigeria and Africa, Akintola Williams on the joyous occasion of his 104th birthday.
President Tinubu shares this special moment with all the friends and professional associates of the former statesman, whose vision and resilience changed the history of Nigeria for the better, establishing the first indigenous accounting firm in Africa, Akintola Williams & Co., in 1952, which extended its services to many countries.
The President affirms the historic role of Mr. Williams in the establishment of several private and public institutions in the country, such as the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICAN), as well as his contributions to democracy and good governance.

The President prays for the excellent health of Oloye Williams and his beloved family.
