*Transformation of Ilorin and The Desperate Cries of the Puff-Puff Era Beneficiaries!* *KWARA CENTRAL MUST STAND WITH ABDULRAMAN ABDULRAZAQ!*  Ilorin is evolving into a modern city, and only the deliberately blind would fail to recognize this transformation. Every true indigene of Ilorin should take pride in the unprecedented progress being witnessed in our land. A patriotic citizen rejoices at the development of their community. It is for this reason that every Ilorite should not only celebrate Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s stellar performance but also appreciate the infrastructural renewal reshaping Ilorin into a city of global standards. *MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENTS!* Currently, four groundbreaking business and innovation hubs have been completed in Ilorin, (Communication and Technology (ICT) Innovation Hub, the conversion of Gasoline-Powered Vehicles to Electric Vehicles, the Garment Factory, and the Sugar Film Factory) while other monumental projects are underway.  ...

  His Excellency Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq   Governor of Kwara State   Government House, Ilorin   Kwara State, Nigeria   Dear His Excellency, *Urgent Need for Intervention in the Ongoing Transition Process of the National Youth Council of Nigeria, Kwara State Chapter* I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to you as a concerned citizen and a passionate advocate for the youth of Kwara State, particularly regarding the ongoing transition process of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Kwara State Chapter.  It has come to our attention that the current leadership of the NYCN has been in office for over five years, which is in direct violation of the constitutional tenure limit of four years. This prolonged tenure has not only undermined the democratic principles that the council is meant to uphold but has also stifled the emergence of new leadership that is essential for the growth and develo...

 *PDP's Support for Unregulated Street Trading Reflects Weak Opposition and Regressive Vision for Kwara* By :Hon AbdulRaman Babatunde Alabi Ajidagba The recent statement by the PDP calling for the reinstatement of roadside trading, road blockage, and unsafe environmental practices in Kwara marks a deeply troubling development. It highlights their inability to offer a constructive or forward-thinking vision for the state's future. Instead of addressing the real challenges faced by the people of Kwara, the PDP’s position promotes disarray, disorder, and a complete disregard for the city’s evolving needs. Their support for unregulated street trading which leads to chaotic traffic, arbitrary parking, and harassment of innocent citizens  underscores their failure to provide a credible, meaningful platform for governance. This proposal stands in stark contrast to the efforts made by the current government under leadership of Mallam Abdulrahman AbdulRazak to tackle urban issues such ...

 Dr. Muhammad Alimi AbdulRasaq, the Mutawali of Ilorin, has made a significant contribution to education by commissioning an academic building at Fountain University's campus in Osogbo.  This gesture demonstrates his commitment to education and community development, and will undoubtedly enhance the learning experience for students and faculty members at the university. Fountain University, established by the Nasrul-Lahi-Il-Fathi Society (NASFAT), is known for its academic excellence and commitment to producing well-rounded graduates. Dr. AbdulRasaq's investment in the university's infrastructure is a testament to his dedication to promoting education and development in the region.

Yahaya Alapasanpa, Danmazami of Ilorin, Dr Muhammad Ghali Alaaya, NNPC Non-Executive Director, Alhaji Saadu Salaudeen, Senior...

Kwara Youths and Zero-sum Mentality by Olayinka Fafoluyi (Solace) January 10th, 2025 During the course of my appointment, I have been able to identify that envy and a zero-sum mentality have severed more ties while those who are not privileged to serve in the political sphere have become moral police on what the future holds for their fellow youths presently in public office. Perhaps, these individuals don't know that their dislike or hate for someone can't stop the Almighty God from blessing him. Zero-sum mentality, the belief that success, especially economic success, is possible only at the expense of other people's failures, has built a mansion in the hearts of many youths of Kwara. May God help our clerics as they continue to preach against it and the spirit of entitlement. I understand that Governor Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq, CON has appointed some of us whom you never thought would be great in life given our poor and humble background. We didn’t see it coming too, Kadar...

 *Waking the desolate Kwara PDP from its 6-year slumber* Ibraheem Abdullateef  Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq recorded another historic feat, when he inaugurated the Osi Campus of Kwara State University (KWASU) on Wednesday. Everyone is excited about the accomplishment and the opportunities it bears for the state. Expectedly, the usual suspect, Kwara People's Democratic Party (PDP), is not happy. The feat is an indictment on them. On the one hand, it shows the political maturity of Governor AbdulRazaq, which their leaders lacked. On the other, it also brings into perspective the lack of sustainability, ineffectiveness, and mismanagement on the part of their leaders.  The latest statement by Kwara PDP was to cover the inadequacies of its leaders, and divert attention from the accolades trailing the Governor following completion of the landmark project.  The style of Governor AbdulRazaq is so unique. He is completing abandoned projects of his predecessors,...
