The Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Zulu-Gambari, CFR, has scheduled the turbaning of the Turaki of Ilorin for the 15th of October 2021. The Emirate Council under the authority of His Royal Highness has appointed Mallam Saliu Mustapha as the Turaki of Ilorin.

The traditional title of Turaki holds a special place in the socio-cultural system of the Ilorin Emirate, as well as other Emirates across Northern Nigeria.

Many residents have been thrown into a frenzy over the scheduled event claiming the honour is well deserved as Mallam Saliu Mustapha is a personality which everybody knows in Ilorin Emirate, they describe him as a selfless leader who spends his wealth for the growth and development of the Emirate.
