Lawal, a one-time Commissioner for Special Duties , in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Thursday described the new feat achieved by the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum as remarkable.
He noted that the latest honour done the governor by the global women was not by happenstance given his commitment to the emancipation of the women folk, adding that he actually earned it.
