The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the appointment of Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu, as the Director General of National Orientation Agency, (NOA).
He described the appointment as a well-deserved one.

A statement issued in Ilorin yesterday, by the Emir of Ilorin, to congratulate Onilu, that was signed by his spokesperson, Alhaji AbdulAzeez Arowona, stated that the Emir described the new DG as a versatile media and public relations expert.
He further expressed confidence in his ability to deliver on the core mandates of the agency especially at a period when the nation is in serious need of national re-orientation.

Gambari added: “Mallam Lanre Onilu, as the NOA DG, will further strengthen the nation’s unity, national reawakening and patriotism among Nigerians.”
 He, however, advised the new DG to adopt far reaching consultations among other government agencies and individuals in order to further promote and project Nigeria’s image positively globally.

The Emir therefore urged Nigerians to support him with prayers and workplace cooperation always.
