Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has commended President Bola Tinubu for giving an additional ministerial slot to the state.
The governor sees this move as a positive step towards acknowledging the state’s rightful position due to the loyalty of Kwarans to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
AbdulRazaq extends his congratulations to Jamila Bio Ibrahim, his former senior special assistant on SDGs, on her nomination as the minister for youth.
The governor added that Jamila’s nomination satisfies two major developmental milestones of youth empowerment and gender inclusion in the decision-making process in Nigeria.
He said: “We consider this additional nomination a great honour to our state, especially the rank and file of our party and its youth and women wings. Given her energy and impressive network among the youth constituency, we believe she is a good fit for the role,” the governor said in a statement on Sunday.
“The governor wishes the ministerial nominee all the best in her new assignment, urging her to be a great ambassador of the state, Kwara APC, and of the youth constituency that she now leads nationwide and requesting all stakeholders to support her in the new role as another representative of Kwara at the Federal Executive Council (FEC).”
