The Honourable Commissioner for Works and Transport, Engineer Suleiman Rotimi Iliasu noted this while taking delivery of the two newly purchased operational 2022 model Hilux vehicles for the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) in the State tate.
Honourable Iliasu further noted that, the event of today again confirmed His Excellency, Mallam Abdulraman Abdulrasaq as a focused and determined leader who gets things done for the betterment of Kwarans without being distracted.
The Commissioner therefore called on Kwarans both at home and in the diaspora to key into the vision of Governor Abdulraman Abdulrasaq which according to him, is set to do more to further put Kwara in the forefront where it belongs.
At the event, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, TPL Olorukooba Isiaka Olayinka described Governor Abdulraman Abdulrasaq as a leader and a father to all who wants the best for the State.

Matawal Dauda Mafwil: One Death, too many

Image
By Engr. Dr. Isaac Kolo The sad news of the sudden death of Engr Matawal Dauda Mafwil, the Plateau State RAAMP Project Coordinator, got to many as a rude shock. Indeed, life is about memories! The memories of things shared, proposed, and yet to be accomplished.  No doubt, the modest memory of late Engr. Matawal Dauda Mafwil will endure, and his example stands out in terms of his great accomplishments in the RAAMP project, which he heads, and most especially, in the life of others. I am personally pained that a friend, brother, and fellow project coordinator left this earthly prison house and transited to the great beyond. At a time, his fatherly leadership, love, and wisdom are still needed. Little wonder, Thomas Campbell says, and he is right that “to live in the hearts of those we love is not to die”.  His memories of modest lifestyle and modest human relations will continue to inspire through his work, the hearts of many, and his unrelenting devotion to those ar...

Segun Adeleye: A friend gone without a hint

Image
By Gbenga Ishola anipr The death, on Wednesday 12th, March 2025, at 58, of Segun Alani Adeleye, has robbed members of my generation of a professional, fine journalist, a prolific writer and a kindhearted fellow. Not surprisingly, there have been an outpouring of tributes from across Nigeria and beyond only for a man who earned the respect of many. Little wonder, this world is fleeting, ephemeral, will-o’-the-wisp. What is man that thou art mindful of him? Man, whose breath is in his nostrils, the good book says. By a personal belief, there are some people who ordinarily should not die, because of their goodness, their humanism, the great impact that they make within the community, family and colleagues. The death of good men or women diminishes us, a part of us leaves with them, but what endures ultimately is the lesson of their example. One of such good persons was Segun Adeleye. Death is a debt that all living things owe, and which they must pay when called to the Celesti...
