Kwara TV, Radio Kwara, NTA, TVC and Channels TV to broadcast events live

Vice President Kashim Shettima will on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, commission two major projects in Ilorin as part of activities marking the turbaning of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as the Sardauna of Ilorin.

The projects are the Kwara Garment Factory and the 11-storey Kwara Revenue House, which will serve as the headquarters of the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service.

The Kwara Garment Factory, one of the flagship projects of the AbdulRazaq administration, is projected to generate more than 4,000 direct jobs when operating at full multi-shift capacity. More than 500 workers have reportedly been recruited and trained for the initial phase of its operations.

The state government said the Kwara Revenue House was financed with savings from consultancy fees that would otherwise have been paid to external revenue-collection consultants.

According to the government, the two facilities are among more than 30 capital projects being executed across the state.

Following the commissioning ceremonies, the Emir of Ilorin and Chairman of the Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, will formally turban AbdulRazaq as the Sardauna of Ilorin at the Emir's Palace.

The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., while a reception will follow at the Atlantic Events Palace in Ilorin.

The Emir said the title was conferred on AbdulRazaq in recognition of his leadership, commitment to peace and unity, and the developmental strides recorded in Kwara State under his administration.

The state government said governors, ministers, heads of federal and state agencies, traditional rulers, security chiefs, Ilorin Emirate title holders and political leaders had confirmed their attendance.

The ceremonies will be broadcast live by Kwara Television, Radio Kwara, the Nigerian Television Authority, TVC and Channels Television.
