Democracy Day: Kwara governor celebrates with ‘special children’

Kwara State Governor and Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) Chairman Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq on Monday visited the school for special needs in Ilorin, the capital city, to spend Democracy Day with the children.

In a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Rafiu Ajakaye, the governor’s aide, described the visit as “a not-so-surprising carryover of his deep affiliation with the underserved communities since his assumption of office in 2019”.

Accompanied by school officials, the Governor inspected some facilities in the school, including classrooms recently fixed by the administration and those freshly affected by rainstorms.

“He later interacted with the school head, Abdulganiyu Olododo, on pending issues in the school that once hosted the government’s budget review sessions — a gesture Abdulrazaq said was meant to refocus attention on the plights of the students and other underserved communities in the state.

“Abdulrazaq then took photographs with the elated children and their tutors and cheered them, in a symbolic gesture of his commitment to always support the underprivileged to attain their full potentials.”
