Buhari said at 99 Chief Akintola Williams has continued to exhibit dedication, steadfastness and untiring sense of responsibility.
President Muhammadu Buhari has enjoined professionals to emulate the dedication, steadfastness, industry, commitment and untiring sense of responsibility that Chief Akintola Williams has continued to exhibit.
Buhari made the call in a statement issued by his media aide, Femi Adesina, on the celebration of the 99 years of Williams, the first African to be a Chartered Accountant.
Doing that, he said, would take their professions to higher realms.
He described Williams as the man who taught Nigerians how to seek and achieve transparency and accountability.
He said the pioneer efforts of Williams in his chosen field and continued show of interest had transformed the profession into noble heights.

He also praised the celebrant for not limiting his God-given intelligence and brilliance to his profession as he also got himself deeply involved in the promotion of arts and culture, preservation of the environment and development of good governance for which he had been honoured in different countries and climes.
Buhari prayed that God Almighty would grant the revered gentleman grace to continue to serve as a source of inspiration to younger ones who looked up to him as a role model.
