The Emir further disclosed that, “It is only hardwork that pays, total war should be declared against idleness, laziness and unwarranted loitering around the society by youths in the name of finding means of survival.”

While commiserating the families of late Hafsoh Lawal over the unfortunate end to the live of the promising daughter, Alhaji Sulu-Gambari urged the Nigeria Police and the Judiciary to ensure that toral justice is served in this matter.

He therefore directs religious leaders especially Imams in Mosques in Ilorin Emirate and Kwara State at large to ensure that their Friday Khutbah focus more attention on morality, dignity in labour as well as importance and respect for the souls of fellow human-being irrespective of tribe, religion and status.
