The Chemical Society of Nigeria, Kwara State Chapter has commended the Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for his laudable achievements in the education sector.
The President of the Society, Kwara State Chapter, Professor Steven Oguntoye, gave the commendation on Tuesday during a courtesy visit to the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development, Ilorin, to intimate the Ministry about the Society’s plan to create awareness campaigns for students and bring synergy between the government, industry and academics.

Professor Oguntoye pleaded with the Commissioner to assist in facilitating a round table discussion with the Management of the Ministry, the State Executive of All Nigerian Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) and the State Executive, Nigerian Union of Teachers, on issues that border on the Society.
He reiterated that the Society will not relent in its efforts to support the present administration in its bid to make education of citizens its topmost priority.
In her response, the Commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Hajia Sa'adatu Modibbo Kawu, appreciated the Executives of the Chemical Society of Nigeria, Kwara State Chapter, for their visit to the Ministry to intimate the Ministry with their productive plans, promising that the State government will continue to support all their good programmes.
