The retired senior security operative added that " the Union recognised Barrister Sambo as a leading advocate of good governance, community development and one of those whose periodic interventions the organisation always found charitable, complementary and constructive, saying that the Union sees this appointment as a rare privilege for him to prove his mettle and offer his maximum best towards the progress of the " State of Harmony"

Alhaji Uthman prayed Allah to afford the new Special Adviser all he would need to discharge his responsibilities far beyond the expectations of the Government and people of Kwara State.
