The
Kwara State Governor Alh. Abdulfatah Ahmed has been urged to set up a
hall of fame standing Committee that will examine meaningful
contributions of Kwarans who should be conferred with honours to serve
as impetus to others.
This is part of the resolutions arising from a Matter of General Public Importance raised by the leader of the
House Alh. Hassan Oyeleke, on the need to restore universal core value
system of honesty, integrity, hard work,knowledge and fear of God as a
way of addressing moral bankruptcy permeating the Nigerian society.
Reading the resolutions of the House the Deputy Speaker Elder
Matthew Okedare said recognition of good conduct and excellent
performance, were key towards socio-economic and political emancipation
of any given society.
The House in its resolution said the
Committee should be made up of men and women of high integrity,
honour,achievement, and of impeccable character to ensure the
realisation of the intended purpose.
The Leader of the House
Hon.Hassan Oyeleke had while raising the Matter of General Public
Importance noted with displeasure that the lust for material wealth by
Nigerians had eroded the nation's core value system of integrity,
honesty, sacrifice, knowledge, hardwork and fear of God.
The
Committee of hall of fame according to him if established would ensure
official recognition and promote high moral value in the State.
Most members who contributed said the House had demonstrated that it
had concern for the future of the people of the State and emphasised
the need for Nigerians to return to the old value system to enhance
their well-being.
Meanwhile the House has called on the
People of the State to stop dumping refuse and building materials on
drainages to avoid flooding in the State.
The House made the
call in its resolution while considering a Matter of General Public
Importance raised by a member representing Kaima/Kemanji/Wajibe Hon
Ahmed Ibn Mohammed on the dumping of refuse in drainages in Ilorin
metropolis.
The House also urged the State Ministry of
Environment and Forestry to continue its sensitisation on the dangers
inherent in the act to forestall any erosion related disaster in the
State.
The House equally enjoined the State Ministry of
Works and Transport to continue to maintain the roads and drainages
constructed by the State Government as at when due to ensure that they
stand the test of time.
