Hakeem Muri-Okunola: Celebrating A Quintessential Gentleman

 A lot of men would readily celebrate their successes, while a few would sit back and appreciate them.

Amiable Hakeem Muri-Okunola is one of those who would rather sit and appreciate their achievements.

Having gravitated from a young man to an all-round success story, the man has hardly elaborately celebrated anything positive on his scorecard as a public administrator.

A cerebral gentleman with strong Islamic faith, HMO, as he is fondly called by his associates has several feathers on his proverbial cap.

Rising from the lowest ebb of relevance in the private sector, and becoming the personal assistant of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu when he was the governor of Lagos State, the bespectacled man grew to become the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands Bureau, then found himself in the Ministry of Youth and Sports before becoming the 21st Lagos State Head of Service, all by dint of hard work.

Regarded as one of the most intelligent minds currently in the Lagos State government, HMO continues his ascension on the ladder of success.

Having recently celebrated his 50th birthday without an elaborate party, the celebration has been tagged the beginning of a new chapter in his career, even as the debate on his next line of action after the current administration continues.
