The Commissioner while addressing the delegates of the Nigerian Guild of Investigative Journalists, NGIJ, currently in Kwara State for a Governance Assessment visit, said; since the administration of Governor AbdulRaham AbdulRazaq on the May 29, 2019, the governor has been walking the talk with massive human capital development, women and youth participations in governance as well as unequalled infrastructural development in all the 16 Local Government Areas of the state.

 

 

 

 

Hon. Towoju who also took out time to take the Guild round the projects being executed under his Ministry across the state said; “check the statistics, gone are the days were the Ministry of Women Affairs will be the only slot reserved for women, now we have 35 percent women representation in the cabinet of our Governor. In fact, the 90 percent of his cabinet are youths.^

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Honorable Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly is just 36 years old.

 

 

 

 

 

The Governor, in less than three years has been able to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor with his massive revamping of critical sectors of the state’s economy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to Towoju, ‘In educational sector, Governor AbdulRaham AbdulRazaq employed on merit, over 5,000 teachers, established a very commendable program; ‘KWARAlearn’ where billions of naira has been deployed to equip students and teachers, build, renovate and also revive the dwindling education sector in Kwara State.”

“Governor AbdulRazaq is already passing the baton of leadership of the state to the Youth. The Speaker of the State House of Assembly is just 36 Years, the State Attorney General is a the youngest in the Federation, which is a clear departure of what was obtainable in the past.

 

 

 

 

“The facelift Kwara is experiencing wouldn’t have been possible if not for the prudency of the Governor and his selfless service to humanity”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regarding the innovation of the Governor for the betterment of Kwarans at large, the Communications’ Commissioner said that before now, the Herald Newspaper, the State owned Newspaper was a shadow of its self before this present administration came on board, Governor has been able to inject life into the state owned Media.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Kwara Television is now being run 24 hours, unlike before that it was struggling to operate for six hours. Kwara TV is now on Startimes and we are working tirelessly to move it to DSTV.

“On health, Governor rolled out programmes such as Roll-Out Malaria, Polio, Tuberculosis and other diseases that have been rampant in the State by kicking them.out of the state with massive funding with over N150 Million, and bought standard machines in the General Hospital to improve the healthcare sector in the state”.

The Nigeria Association of Women Journalists,(NAWOJ), Ogun State Chapter Executives has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on Chairman NAWOJ SEKINAT Salam and the Financial Secretary, Charity James, saying that, their leadership reflect the ideal and objectives of NAWOJ.

 

This was revealed in a communique issued at an Emergency meeting of the Executive held at the NUJ State Council, Iwe-Iroyin in Abeokuta.

 

The vote of confidence on the Leadership of NAWOJ was unanimously signed by all the five executive members that attended the meeting with the vice chairperson taking apology for official engagement outside the state capital.

Speaking briefly with Journalists after the emergency Executive meeting, the Chairperson, Nigeria Association of Woman Journalists (NAWOJ), Com. Sekinat Salam, said the meeting was necessary as the news of her suspension was laughable and insulting because it is like a pot calling a kettle black in this case, saying that the Leadership of the State Council, Com. Wale Olanrewaju has no local standing to suspend her or any executive member, even he cannot be a judge in his own case.

 

According to her” The Leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun State led by Wale Olanrewaju has always been misusing power without recourse to the constitution of this noble Union, hence has no local standing to suspend me or any executive member “.

 

She said only the Central Working Committee (CWC) has the constitutional rights to sanction or suspend any members found wanting after due process has been followed.

 

While calling on members to stay calm, Com. Sekinat Salam assured members of positive representation of NAWOJ at both the State and National level, adding the success recorded under her administration cannot be overemphasized.

 

She therefore called on the National leadership of NUJ to critically look into the matter, either by setting up independent committee to investigate the issues and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
