Highly resourceful and dedicated, he has demonstrated his capacity in all the positions he has had opportunity to hold and as commissioner nominee, many hold optimism that he will leverage his experience in the first tenure.

If confirmed by the Kwara State House of Assembly, Olododo will not only continue the good work he has been doing for the state, but will also have the opportunity to impact more lives through his genuine ideas and initiatives.

For whatever portfolio he might be given, it’s sure that the magic wand of Abdulquawiy Olododo will further raise the bar of development in the State and also complement the quest of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to deliver the dividends of Governance to the people.
