Biodun Esan, Ilorin
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has congratulated the immediate past Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on SDGs Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim on her nomination as the Honourable Minister for Youth.
A statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary Rafiu Ajakaye on Sunday said the nomination of Dr. Jamila satisfied two major developmental milestones of youth empowerment and gender inclusion in the decision-making process in Nigeria.
“The Governor commends President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for conceding yet another ministerial slot to Kwara, in what suggests a commendable direction to rightly accord the state its deserved flowers for the loyalty of its people to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
“We consider this additional nomination a great honor 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 the statement.
“The Governor wishes the ministerial nominee all the best in her new assignment,” the statement said.
Governor AbdulRazaq urged the nominee to be a great ambassador of the state, Kwara APC, and of the youth constituency that she now leads nationwide.
He called on all stakeholders to support the new minister in the new role as another representative of Kwara at the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
