“The Governor is very happy about this historic development and congratulates Mrs Bamigboye for making her family and Kwara State proud.

“Finally, the Governor commends Mrs Bamigboye and the entire Rotary club, especially in Kwara, for their tremendous support for the state’s campaign to stamp out polio. He specifically commends them for the laudable role they played shortly after Kwara State recorded vaccine-derived polio cases in January 2019 and their unflinching support for the administration’s efforts which have helped to eradicate the virus in Kwara State.”
