"His Excellency recalls some of the achievements recorded by the state's basketball team through the late basketball star as a basketball player and coach.

"Coach Onishola was reputed as one of the first set of Falcons Basketball Club that started in Kwara in the 1970s. He was a one-time Technical Director of the club.

"Our dear state has indeed lost a legend who would be sorely missed, and remembered for his contributions to the promotion of Kwara Falcons team to the elite division in 2013. He also led the silver winning team at the 2018 edition of the Kwese Premier League.
