The Kwara State chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has commended the Federal Government for recognising
late football legend, Rashidi Yekini, with a posthumous Member Order of the Niger award.
The late Yekini was among 11 outstanding personalities from Kwara, and 456 Nigerians, who were conferred with national honours. He was also one of the two Kwara indigenes that got the award posthumously. The other was Chief Superintendent of Police, Benedict Okoh Ajide. While describing the late awardee as a true patriot, who paid his dues, both at national and international levels with various clubs, SWAN commended the Federal Government on its decision to honour the late Yekini for his services to his fatherland.
