Gov AbdulRazaq Congratulates Four Kwarans over President’s honours

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Friday congratulated four Kwarans who were among the 110 honoured by the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) for their meritorious performance during their service year.

The four former NYSC members are Sodiq Abdulazeez O (Ilala); Ibrahim Aliyu (Ilorin); Dr Yetunde Abioye (Offa); and Olabanji Damilola (Ijomu Oro).

The four, like the remaining award winners, have also been offered automatic employment and scholarships for their postgraduate studies by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“His Excellency the Governor is very proud of the quartet who have brought honour and pride to the state on account of their meritorious service to our fatherland and their impacts on the host communities where they served. He commends them for being great ambassadors of their respective families and the state,” according to a statement by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor Rafiu Ajakaye.
