IEDPU Praises KWSG’s Interventions On P. S.S. Ballad
The Executive Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq,has,again, been commended for always listening to the yearnings of the people, noting that his humility, patriotism and dedication would always stand him out in history.
This commendation was made by the National President of the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union(IEDPU), Aliyu Otta Uthman,fsi,who also appreciated the Governor for always seeing and relating with the Union as a partner in progress.
Uthman, in a press statement signed by the Union’s National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Imam, said that the Governor truly deserved the commendation considering his humility, simplicity and uncommon approach to duties even at the expense of his personal comfort.
Uthman said that the Union was impressed with the consistent readiness of the Governor to support the Union’s initiatives, saying that the Mallam Abdulrazaq’s decision to personally perform the handover of the Police Secondary School, Ballah,to the Nigeria Police; and the foundation laying ceremony of the Ilorin Emirate Skills Acquisition Hub at the Geri Alimi area of Ilorin, on Tuesday,December 14,2021, rather than simply delegating the responsibilities, was a mark of great leadership and exemplary patriotism.
Going by the Union’s previous experience,the retired intelligence technocrat recalled that the completion,takeoff and commissioning of the Police Secondary School,Ballah,would have remained a mirage if not for the timely interventions of the present government of Kwara State which invested huge funds,intellect and time into it.
Uthman said that the Union anticipated that the Governor would,in his patriotic style, also mobilise his network of friends and associates towards the timely accomplishment of the Ilorin Emirate Skills Acquisition Hub within the record time for it to serve its essence.
The community leader specifically thanked the Governor for appreciating the contributions of the Union towards the all-round development of the community, adding that members of the Union at home and in diaspora were extremely excited with the kind testimonies of His Excellency to the services of the people of Ilorin Emirate as shouldered by the Union over the years and especially since the beginning of his administration.
The Union, on behalf of the people of the Emirate, would continue to look towards more positive collaborations with the Kwara State Government in order to ensure that Ilorin Emirate attains its destined greatness.
Uthman,however, appealed to Mallam AbdulRazaq to always give consideration to Ilorin Emirate,particularly its rural segments, in the location of facilities and projects in view of their increasing attraction of settlement.
“On behalf of the Emir of Ilorin,(Dr.)Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari ,CFR,and the good people of the Emirate, I like to thank Your Excellency, for your uncommon patriotism,unflinching loyalty and outstanding statesmanship as we pray that may your tenure continues to attract and record more positive dividends for our state”, he concluded.
