Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State has reappointed Engineer (Mrs) Folashade Omoniyi as Executive Chairman of the Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KW-IRS) for the second and last tenure.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, the governor said that the reappointment is effective from October 3, 2023.
“The financial manager and tech guru was first appointed to the key role in October 2019. Under her, internally generated revenue has become more efficient with the deployment of new technology to block leakages and make revenue collection a lot easier for the public.
The Governor has also reappointed Fafoluyi Olayinka (Solace), a seasoned new media professional with years of experience as a youth leader, as Senior Special Assistant on New Media.
Olayinka acted the same role in the last dispensation as Special Assistant, gaining wide acclaim for leveraging new media channels to promote government policies and programmes and bridging the information gap between government and members of the public, especially among young people.
Solace, an associate member of the Nigeria Institute of Public Relations, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology, and a postgraduate diploma in Journalism, and is studying for his Master’s in Public Administration at the University of Ilorin.
