Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Wednesday inaugurated two new commissioners and a Special Adviser amid a minor cabinet reshuffle. 

The newly inaugurated commissioners are Sa’adatu Modibbo Kawu and Abubakar Saddiq Buhari. 

Cabinet returnee Modibbo-Kawu got the education portfolio again, while Buhari is to man the Ministry of Communications. 
 
The Governor also swore-in the new Special Adviser on Special Duties Alhaji Abdul-Razhaq Abubakar Jiddah.

AbdulRazaq also announced a minor cabinet reshuffle involving five commissioners: Alhaji Wahab Femi Agbaje who moved from Water to Energy; Mariam Ahmed Hassana (from Energy to Women Affairs); Abdulmaliq Bashir Mopelola Risikatulahi (from Women Affairs to Water); George Olabode Towoju (from Communication to Youth); and Adamu Jamila Bake (from Youth Development to Planning). 
 
At a brief swearing-in ceremony at the council chamber in Ilorin, the Governor told the cabinet members: “I urge you and all other government appointees to be committed to the service of our people.

"I urge you to be team players and recharge your ministries to deliver better service delivery to our people. 
 
“Notwithstanding the political campaign session, every minute should be spent to make life more worth living for the people.

"As an administration, our selling point is the impact we have made in key sectors of the society.

"Our re-election campaign is therefore anchored on verifiable achievements that we have made.

"We have taken governance to the remotest corners of our state. We want to do more. 

“For every lie anyone tells against us, please point them to where we were in 2019 and where we are today.

"The facts speak for themselves in health sector, education, opening up of rural and urban areas, gender inclusion, youths and women empowerment, workers welfare, and economic growth.

“I urge you to work closely with your constituencies and make friends with all, including our political base. 

"I congratulate you once again and wish you all a very impactful tenure of office.”
