He was variously Reporter, Correspondent, Transport Editor, Acting News Editor and Deputy Sunday Editor. 


He is a former Commissioner for Information, Commissioner for Education, and Special Adviser, Communication Strategy, to the Governor in Kwara State.

“With such glistering accomplishments in career and public service, we are very much convinced that young men and women will learn tremendously from his wealth of experience and knowledge, helping in grooming better and more responsible young people in our society,” Abdullateef added. 


The youths development and mentorship life class, Raise, has previously held three sessions with prominent male and female personalities from January to March, including the First Lady of Kwara State, Amb. Dr. Olufolake AbdulRazaq. 


Abdullateef, Executive Director of Torchbearers Impact Network (TIN), explained that the programme did not hold in April to save participants from exertion due to the Ramadan fasting. He expressed the commitment of the organising team to the project as it was already making an impact. 


“The impact of the programme is manifesting in the state. Four out of six candidates we registered for JAMB examination in February passed, suitable for higher education. We are very much buoyed to deepen support for younger people in education and enterprise while we facilitate access to learning from the best in their chosen career, or, business simultaneously. There is no estimating the ripple effects of the bridge we are building between generations in the next few years,” he said.
