Kwara Cabinet Reshuffle: Strategic Realignment for Growth
Governor AbdulRazaq Strengthens Executive Team with New Commissioners and Strategic Reassignments
Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara on Monday inaugurated Dr Lawal Olohungbebe and Dr Maryam Nnafatima-Imam as new members of the state executive council.
AbdulRazaq, while inaugurating the two new commissioners on Monday in Ilorin, said that their new status was a deserving elevation from their previous roles as Senior Special Assistants.
He charged the commissioners to be team players and to key into the administration’s efforts to build on its achievements across sectors.
According to him, today marks not just the beginning of a new chapter for the commissioners-designate but, expectedly, a renewed commitment to serving the people of Kwara with dedication, integrity, and vision.
”In leadership, and especially in public service, the strength of any administration lies in the power of teamwork. Be mindful that our mission is to collaborate, combining our strengths and ideas to leave Kwara far better than we found it.
”As is clear to everyone, our government has delivered very substantial, measurable progress in different sectors.
”We have set new standards in public education, primary healthcare, rural and urban development, infrastructure upgrade, social inclusion, structured social protection, and wealth redistribution initiatives.
”As you both step into your new roles, I urge you to embrace creativity, always touch base with the people, think outside the box, and apply prudence in every decision you make.
”I congratulate you once again, and I wish you God’s guidance in the service of our state.”
The governor also announced a slight cabinet reshuffle: Olohungbebe was assigned to the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, while Nnafatima-Imam was deployed to Social Development.
Similarly, Hajia Sa’adatu Kawu was re-assigned to the Ministry of Tertiary Education, while Dr Mary Arinde was moved to the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development.
The governor also moved Lafia Kora-Sabi to the newly created Transportation Ministry. At the same time, Mrs Olohuntoyosi Thomas, formerly of the Agriculture and Rural Development, was re-assigned to the new Ministry of Livestock Development among others. (NAN)
