Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq yesterday revealed that a total of 193,000 Kwarans would benefit from President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme (RHWDP) in the state.
The governor said this in Ilorin at the launch of the non-partisan socio economic initiative of President Tinubu to lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty.
The governor said the beneficiaries cut across the 193 wards in the state.
He said the programme attests to the President’s love for the less privileged and his government’s dedication to achieve the $1 trillion dollar economy by 2030.
“This is the most innovative grassroots social programme rolled out to address poverty irrespective of religious difference, political persuasion, tribal or gender difference or place of birth,” the Governor said in Ilorin through his Senior Adviser and Counselor, Alhaji Sa’adu Salau, who represented him.
AbdulRazaq commended Tinubu’s administration for its economic recovery programmes that support the poor, saying the initiative aligns with the state’s social investment.

Fagbemi said APC will get more than 75 percent votes in Nigeria’s General elections come 2027, saying the party has delivered its mandate to citizens, while also working harder to strengthen public safety.
State Coordinator for RHWDP, Mubarak Salau Bello, said the scheme is designed to take development and economic growth directly to the grassroots and make national growth a reality for every Nigerian, right from the ward level.
