It is six (6) month today, I am indebted to appreciate Almighty God for His uncommon grace and mercy. May His name be Exalted!
One would wonder who is Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq?
I would say, he is energetic, pragmatic, Committed and visionary. He is a man with uncommon brilliance; he possesses the wit to strategize on actionable plans that can drive the state to a greater height.
I must say, our headway cannot be overemphasized as he (Gov AA) welcomes creative ideas from us - he is a good listener.
My compatriots at the Ministry of Sports and Youth Development have been up and running ever since I started this voyage. Our collective efforts in raising the bar higher-ups has birthed unequal development and pathbreaking achievements within the short span of time in the Ministry.
We have brought new waves of development to the state with unprecedented success, they are but not limited to the following achievements;
✓Payment of 4 months outstanding salaries of Kwara Football Academy workers (KFA) (July, October, December, 2016 and April 2019).
✓250 Youth Officers/Leaders across the 16 Local Government Areas participated in the Capacity Building Workshop.
✓Youth holiday camping for the 180 selected secondary school prefects across the 16 local government areas at the Yikpata Youth Camp.
✓Initiating an ingenious public private partnership in the area of youth development by partaking in the enlightenment on Sexual Harassment program with about 1000 Participants hosted at Stella Obasanjo Hall.
✓Release of funds for 3-day sponsorship of Nigerian Youth Parliament (3 members) representing Kwara State to attend the Young African Parliament Summit in Ghana.
✓Renovation of Hostels and Camp Clinic at the Yikpata Youth Camp.
✓Facilitating the participation of 5 participants at the Capacity Building on Sustainable livelihood, skill acquisition in vocational, agricultural and entrepreneurship development program for the vulnerable and unemployed youth organised by the Federal Ministry of Sports and Youth Development.
✓Renovation and Upgrading of Adewole Baseball and Softball Park.
✓Resuscitating the Kwara State Sports Festival after more than a decade in the doldrum which was engrossed with excitement as contingents from across its 16 local governments participate in at least 26 games.
✓Training of 500 NYSC corps members as peer educator counsellors at the Yikpata Youth Camp.
We can always do better: we won't relent in bringing innovative and ingenious activities on board to develop our Sports and Youth capacities.
To all and sundry, it is high time we put more efforts in supporting the administration of Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Kwara is ours and together we can reform it.
God bless Kwara State!
God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria!!
Mrs Joana Nnazua Kolo
Honourable Commissioner for Sports and Youth Development, Kwara State.
