Dr. Abdulhameed Shuaib, Chief Imam of Agaka, described the death of Alhaji Kawu-Agaka, as a versatile technocrat, a remarkable statesman and an outstanding community leader.

Dr Shuaib said: “The deceased was a strong pillar in community development who contributed immensely to scholarship, humanitarian assistances and made immeasurable sacrifices towards peaceful coexistence not just in his populous Agaka community but the entire Ilorin-Emirate.

He also asked God to repose his soul and grant him eternal rest in paradise.
