“These appointments show that Kwarans are not just participating in national development – we are taking centre stage. Our people are known for their intelligence, resilience, and quiet excellence. I have no doubt that these appointees will carry the Kwara spirit into their new roles and make us all proud.

“This is not just an honour, it’s a call to service. And I pray that God grants them the wisdom, strength, and courage to excel.

“My reflections wouldn’t be complete without acknowledging other Kwarans who are already making waves at the national level. People like: the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abdullateef Fagbemi SAN; the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ambassador Mohammed Mohammed; the Chairman of Federal Character Commission, Hajia Muheeba Dankaka; the Chief of Defence Space Administration, AVM Lanre Ibrahim Oluwatoyin; the Director General of the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Professor Ibrahim Abikan Abdulqadir, and many others quietly serving and making Kwara proud.
