“I also extend my heartfelt gratitude to the traditional chiefs of Mai Martaba Ilorin, HRH Alhaji Ibraheem Sulu-Gambari, the league of Imams and Ulamaus, and the religious associations who participated in the event.

“Special thanks are due to the Guest Lecturer, Ustaz Al-Imam Ibrahim Musa Gbodofu, for delivering an excellent lecture on the topic, “How to survive in the current economic challenges as individuals and family.” I pray to Allah to sustain the Ustaz in knowledge and steadfastness. I equally appreciate the Quran reciters, Madiyyu Nabbiy and Azkhir chanters. May Allah reward them abundantly.

He added that despite flight delays preventing him from attending the event, I commend the Senator Representing our resourceful senatorial district, Distinguished Senator Saliu Mustapha, the Turakin Gerin of Ilorin, for joining me at my GRA Residence to mark the event and extend greetings. May Allah honor him abundantly.

“Additionally, I congratulate and appreciate the organizing committee and members of my cabinets for another groundbreaking program. I also extend gratitude to the media team and all the invited media houses for their unwavering support and dedication.
