Also, the convener of the meeting, Engr. Dr. Johnson Adewumi (Chancellor, Kwara State University, Malete, and Proprietor, Thomas Adewumi University, Oko-Irese) emphasised the need for unity and peace, saying it is the only pathway to the desired sustainable development of the Kwara South senatorial district.
