NGO Raises N6 Million for Ilorin Primary Schools Repairs
Third Estate Group, a non-governmental organization, has generated N6 million to rehabilitate primary schools in Ilorin emirate, Kwara State.

Those elected at the meeting of the forum included Lawal, chairman; Malam Ahmed Bolaji Nagode, 1st vice chairman; Dr Ibrahim Gambari, 2nd vice chairman; Dr Isiaka A. Yahaya, secretary general; Mr Shehu Aladire, treasurer and Agaka, publicity secretary.
