“On behalf of the people and government of Kwara State, I express our profound appreciation to the President for these A-list appointments. We are very proud to be an integral part of the President’s team,” the Governor said.
“Our prayers, best wishes, and support are with the new appointees and those before them. With stakeholders rallying behind Engr. Ojulari, we are confident that he will take the oil sector to a greater height. We pray that the tenure of Engr. Ojulari and his team records unprecedented success for the country’s oil sector.”
