In a birthday message issued to mark the milestone, the Chapel described Diya’s 40th birthday as an opportunity to celebrate his contributions to public service and acknowledge his positive disposition towards the media.

The Chapel said Diya had distinguished himself among local government chairmen in Ogun East through the recognition and support he had extended to the NUJ Ogun East Independent Chapel and its activities.

According to the Union, the chairman’s relationship with the media has gone beyond mere acknowledgement, as his willingness to identify with and encourage legitimate journalistic activities has been particularly appreciated by journalists across the district.

While congratulating Diya on attaining 40, the NUJ Ogun East Independent Chapel wished him greater wisdom, strength, good health and fulfilment as he begins another decade of his life.

The message, signed by the Chapel Chairman, Comrade Oluseun Oduneye, and Secretary, Olufunmilayo Adewoju Suleodu, also prayed for continued guidance and success for the chairman in his service to the people of Odogbolu.
