The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has celebrated Ogun State-born businessman, Chief Ibrahim Egungbohun, popularly known as IBD Dende, on his 56th birthday.

NANS National Public Relations Officer (PRO), Comrade Samson Adeyemi disclosed this in a Tuesday statement.

Adeyemi said NANS under the leadership of its National President, Comrade Olushola Oladoja is glad to identify with the distinguished icon, a pillar of support, and a renowned philanthropist on his birthday.

He said, “Over the years, Chief IBD Dende has proven himself to be a silent benefactor to many and a beacon of hope for the youth. Nigerian students, in particular, recognize his immense contributions to human capital development and his consistent support for the less privileged. In a world where true leadership is often scarce, his life serves as a testament to the power of humility, hard work, and communal service.

“As he celebrates this milestone, NANS National prays that the Almighty grants him continued good health, long life, and the wisdom to continue his selfless service to humanity.

“We celebrate you today, Sir, not just as a successful businessman, but as a mentor to the younger generation and a true friend of the Nigerian student body.”
