Kwara Assembly wants Yekini immortalised

Date: 2016-05-11

The Kwara State House of Assembly on Tuesday urged the state government to immortalise Rasheed Yekini, the late Soccer giant in view of his contributions to sport development in the country.

The House made the call in its resolution after adopting a call to that effect by the House Leader, Hassan Oyeleke.

The House Leader, who spoke under matters of urgent public importance, said the invaluable contributions of late Rashidi Yekini deserved recognition and compensation.

He said the late soccer ambassador scored 37 goals for Nigeria in 58 appearances with active participation in many national and international soccer tournaments.

All the members of the House unanimously in their contributions said the late soccer legend deserved to be immortalised.

They said the deceased had placed Kwara on the global map with his brilliant performances in his soccer profession.

Yekini, a native of lra in Oyun Local Government area of Kwara, died in May 2012 at the age of 48.
