Nigeria’s First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu in company of Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and his wife Her Excellency Amb. Professor Olufolake AbdulRazaq and other States’ First Ladies visited the Innovation Hub, a facility that is designed to be Kwara’s version of the Silicon Valley to raise generations of techies and build skills that resolve local developmental challenges.
“I am so, so glad with what I have seen. This is truly amazing, and I am going back home to tell the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu what I have seen. You (Governor) are a man truly in love with your people. You have really done so well,” she said as the Managing Director of the Hub Temi Kolawole took her through the mandate of the multibilion naira facility while the Governor and his wife sat next to her.
The sight of the facility triggered a brief conversation around her setting up a “Dream Centre”, which she said is an idea she hopes would give talented underprivileged children a platform to shine and rule their world.
“What I have seen here is borne out of a clear dream about where the Governor wants his people to be. This dream is coming alive…. We can stay here forever. You have enough projects to showcase, and I am indeed very proud of you,” the Senator said.
Previously, Ilorin Innovation Hub struck key partnerships with IHS Towers, French Government and UNDP.
