Gov AbdulRazaq welcomes appointment of Col. Lawal to NCC board

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq heartily welcomes the appointment of Col. Abdulwahab Lawal (rtd) as a board member of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), along with other distinguished Nigerians.

Col. Lawal is the incumbent chairman of the Kwara State Education Trust Fund — a brainchild of the Abdulrazaq administration.

The Governor, who thanks President Bola Tinubu for the honour, says the appointment is a round peg in a round hole, as Col. Lawal is a cerebral administrator and statesman.

He wishes Col. Lawal and other appointees a huge success in the new national assignment.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT!

Kwara State Government wishes to inform the public of the likely heavy rain accompanied by lightning and thunderstorm, to be experienced from today, Wednesday, 30th July, according to Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NiMet).

In the light of this development, all residents and citizens living close to river banks and occupants of riverine areas are advised to relocate upstream with immediate effect to avoid loss of lives and property.

Members of the public are further advised to be mindful of their movements and avoid going out whenever it is about to rain.

In the same vein, it is advisable to remove electric appliances from sockets, whenever one is going out, to avert power surge and thunder related damages to gadgets, consequent upon the expected heavy rain and thunderstorm.

To prevent flooding and loss of lives and properties, the state government is currently dredging Asa river, while the Ministry of Environment has also embarked on the clearing of drainages within the metropolis.

The Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq administration continues to prioritise the well-being and comfort of the people of the state.

We urge residents of the state to complement the government's efforts at taking Kwara State to greater heights.
