In January 2021, AbdulRazaq dismissed all commissioners and ordered the outgoing appointees to hand over to the top civil service officer in their ministries.[8] On 4 September 2023, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq formally inaugurated the members of his Cabinet for his second term in office.[9]
On 25 February 2025, following a cabinet meeting, Governor AbdulRazaq announced the creation of two new ministries—the Ministry of Livestock Development and the Ministry of Transportation—to enhance governance and service delivery in these sectors.[10] He subsequently forwarded the names of two commissioner nominees to the Kwara State House of Assembly for confirmation.[11]
On 10 March 2025, the governor swore in the newly confirmed commissioners and announced a cabinet reshuffle to optimize governance.[12][13]
