National Sports Commission to Open Office in Kwara State

The federal government plans to establish a National Sports Commission office in Kwara State, capitalizing on the modern sporting facilities developed by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's administration. Coach Bola Magaji, the Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Sports Commission, announced this during the unveiling of a book titled “The Sardauna of Ilorin in the Eyes of History,” authored by journalist Biodun AbdulKareem.

Magaji revealed that National Sports Commission officials visited Kwara State approximately three weeks prior to assess the facilities, expressing their approval of the Kwara State Stadium Complex, which now features one of the best squash court facilities globally. He noted that Kwara's athletes are achieving success in various national and international competitions, securing medals in sports where the state previously had no notable achievements.

Alh Saadu Salahu, Special Adviser and Counsellor to the Governor, remarked on AbdulRazaq's enduring legacy in governance and youth development, predicting that his contributions will be referenced for decades.
