Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has expressed pride in his elder brother, Dr. Alimi Abdulrazaq, the Mutawali of Ilorin, on his induction into Nigeria’s prestigious Body of Benchers.

In a statement, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq hailed the achievement, stating: “We are proud of your accomplishments, Dr. Alimi.” The Body of Benchers comprises distinguished legal practitioners responsible for admitting new members to the Nigerian bar and overseeing professional conduct.

The induction holds particular significance as Dr. Alimi’s late father, the late Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abdulrazaq, SAN, chaired the body between 1983 and 1984, marking a legacy of legal excellence for the family.

Governor Abdulrazaq says the feat is a reward for hard work, diligence, discipline, good leadership, and excellent conduct for which the Mutawalli is known.

The Governor says the recognition further challenges the Mutawali to continue along the path of ethical leadership, human solidarity, and community service, which have defined his life.

He asks Allaah to grant the Mutawali long life and good health in the service of God and fatherland.
