The Member representing Ilorin West/Asa Federal Constituency, Honourable Muktar Tolani Shagaya, has lauded Kwara State Governor, His Excellency Abdulrahman AbdulRazaq CON, for his visionary leadership and the unveiling of the historic 70-meter Unity Flagpole—now the tallest in West Africa.
In an official press statement released through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Basheer Luqman, Shagaya described the flagpole as more than just an architectural marvel but a bold testament to Kwara’s commitment to national unity, identity, and global recognition.
“Under the dynamic leadership of His Excellency, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Kwara State continues to soar as a beacon of progress, innovation, and pride,” Shagaya stated.
“The Unity Flagpole, much like the Governor’s transformative strides in technology (Innovation Hub), creative arts (Visual Arts Centre), and enterprise (Garment Factory), reaffirms Kwara’s emergence as a hub of modernity and cultural renaissance.”
He further emphasized that the towering structure stands as a “guiding light” for citizens and visitors, symbolizing the state’s balanced approach to development—where infrastructure meets inspiration, and functionality blends with heritage.
“Kwara is not just functioning; it is flourishing,” Shagaya declared. “We commend the Governor’s unwavering dedication to sustainable growth, social welfare, and landmark projects that elevate our state’s status on the national and global stage.”
The statement concluded with a call for continued support for the administration’s initiatives, urging Kwarans to embrace the shared vision of a “prosperous, united, and forward-looking” state.
