The confirmation letter which was signed by Mr. Opadiran M.Y. on behalf of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Commerce and Cooperatives, said that their confirmation took effect from August 27, 2019.
According to the letter  “the confirmation of your appointment was sequel to your nomination and confirmation at the general meeting of the association held at Ago market last week in compliance with the required guidelines.
“This no doubt is due to your dedication, steadfastness, trust, loyalty and good leadership quality. It is expected that you will bring these qualities to bear in your leadership of the association. Accept the Ministry’s hearty congratulations please”.
The Chief of Staff had last week  restated the state government’s commitment towards providing social intervention for traders associations and the people of the state in general.
Responding, the Babaloja General in the state, assured the commitment of the new leadership  in carrying all traders along  in their activities.
Babaloja said, “Let us do it together because when we cooperate, government will recognise us and we are going to achieve a lot in terms of progress of our members”.
He appealed to government to empower members of the association because many of them were financially handicapped to carry out their legitimate businesses.
The Iyaloja General, Alhaja Akaje said that the leadership could not do it alone except with the support of all members.
The Vice Iyaloja General, Alhaja Olumo appreciated Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, appealing to the state government to recognise members of the association by supporting them financially through revolving loan scheme.
While describing the appointment as a challenge, she urged members of the new executive to carry members along in the scheme of things to achieve the set targets of moving the association to the next level of progress and development.
