Professor Mary Lar is the widow of the first national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and first civilian governor of Plateau State, Chief Solomon Lar

The event held in Abuja was attended by legislators, former governors and wife of a former vice president, Hajiya Titi Abubakar among others.

Represented by Senator Simon Bako Lalong (Plateau South), President Tinubu hailed Prof Lar as a “woman of virtue, grace and quiet strength.”

He noted that the celebration was not merely about marking her years but honouring a legacy of love, leadership and service to humanity.

“At 90, Her Excellency remains a symbol of dignity and devotion. As one of the first female professors from Northern Nigeria, she has inspired generations of women and girls across the nation.

“Many of her students are here today, continuing to apply her lessons for the good of society,” Tinubu said.

Jonathan described Prof Lar as a calm and dedicated figure who has contributed immensely to her community and country.

“At 90, we pray you live to 120 to continue mentoring young girls,” he said.

Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang praised her as a “mother in every sense” and an achiever whose support and counsel have been invaluable.

“She epitomises the value of educating the girl child, adding value to her family and society,” he said.

Mutfwang highlighted Prof Lar’s role as a pillar of strength alongside her late husband, Chief Solomon Lar, a key figure in Nigeria’s democracy.

He announced a donation of N50 million for the unveiling of books celebrating her life and contributions.

Former Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon recalled the warm reception he received from Prof Lar and her husband upon returning from exile.

“She is a most deserving and honoured icon, a loving wife to a political titan,” he said.

In his goodwill message, former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, described the celebrant as “humanity personified” and a lover of God. Quoting Psalm 91:16, he attributed her long life to her prayers for those in authority.

 

“Goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life,” he said.
