Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has congratulated the immediate past Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, on her nomination as the Minister for Youth.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, the governor welcomes this major development and cheery news with excitement, saying Dr Jamila’s nomination satisfies 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 State, 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 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 also wished 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 her new role as another representative of Kwara at the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
