According to a statement by the Emir’s spokesman, Dr AbdulAzeez Arowona, the event is expected to attract government officials, captains of industry, traditional rulers from within and outside Kwara State, religious leaders and other dignitaries.
The title was conferred on AbdulRazaq, who is also Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, in recognition of his leadership, commitment to peace and unity, and the development recorded across the state under his administration.
The Emir directed that the ceremony should also be used to offer special prayers for continued peace, progress and prosperity in Ilorin Emirate, Kwara State and Nigeria.
