In an Instagram message shared on Monday, the senator expressed thanks to God for guidance and strength throughout her life, while praying for continued wisdom, protection, and purpose in the years ahead. “Dear God, as I turn 46 today, I thank You for grace, strength, and growth. Bless my journey ahead with wisdom, courage, and compassion. Keep my family, friends, constituents, and all well-wishers safe, and may You keep my path aligned with purpose. Amen,” she wrote.
In celebration of her birthday, Akpoti-Uduaghan also announced a major initiative to give back to her alma mater, Federal Government College (FGC) Idoani. The projects, set for completion next year, include a 2,000-seat auditorium, a 500-seat multipurpose hall, 10 staff quarters, 300 solar street lights, and a 50,000-litre solar-powered water system.
“I’m honoured to facilitate these projects, which shall be completed next year by the grace of God,” she said, emphasizing that her contributions are motivated by gratitude rather than politics. “FGC Idoani nurtured my character, discipline, and leadership; thus, giving back to my alma mater isn’t politics, it’s gratitude,” Akpoti-Uduaghan explained.
Her birthday celebrations, blending spiritual reflection with tangible acts of philanthropy, underscore a commitment to both personal growth and community development.
