Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara on Thursday expressed sadness over the death of the state’s former head of service (HoS), Susan Oluwole.

This is contained in a statement by the chief press secretary to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye.

Ms Oluwole died on Wednesday at 57, barely one year after her statutory retirement from the Kwara State Civil Service.

Mr Abdulrazaq recalled that the former HoS was a credible and dependable authority in public service matters.

“I am proud to have worked with Mrs Oluwole as a respected technocrat; her contributions and services to the state were truly exceptional and invaluable,” he said.

The governor commiserated with her family, particularly her husband and her aged father, as well as the entire civil service hierarchy in the state.

“I pray to God to repose her soul and give the family and contemporaries the courage to bear this huge loss,” he said.
