The federal legislator explained that the Union has been playing critical roles in advancing the cause of  Ilorin Emirate and its people over the years as he promised to continue to work with the Union towards ensuring the peace and progress of the community.

Senator Mustapha, who is also the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Production Services and Rural Development, reiterated his position that he would consult with His Excellency, the Governor of Kwara State, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, on what his contributions would be towards takeoff of the Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari Skills Acquisition Centre, Ilorin, which was built by the Union.

On the ongoing construction of the Union's Jumaat Mosque, Senator Mustapha assured the Union that he would also offer  very significant contributions towards ensuring its completion.
