The news that Teslimat Abiola Nurudeen, a final-year student at Kwara State University @KwasuOfficial, has become the first undergraduate from the university to complete a solo flight is exactly the kind of harvest we envisioned years ago. On April 20, 2026, she flew a 24-minute circuit at Ilorin International Airport. When we established KWASU and the International Aviation College during my tenure as Governor of Kwara State, our goal was human capital development. It was about equipping the next generation of Kwarans and Nigerians with the skills to compete in the most specialised sectors of the global economy. Seeing a young woman from the Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering take to the skies today validates the difficult but necessary decisions we made to prioritise education and specialised infrastructure. The journey ahead must now be about returning Kwara to this culture of excellence. We must not just focus on building for today, but for generations that will follow. Congratulations, Teslimat!
