No part of Kwara State is without appreciable positive imprints of the ‘Otoge’ administration, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has said. He added that progress had been made across sectors between 2019 and now.
Speaking with reporters in Lagos, the governor said his investments in health care, education, rural-urban development, water facilities and workers’ welfare were so significant that emerging data had shown a wide gap between what he met and the situation today.
He said his administration had achieved a lot by working with development partners, who had earlier left the state for lack of support, noting that the government worked with SightSavers International to strengthen eye care services.
Asserting that no electoral ward in the state was without positive traces of his administration, AbdulRazaq said project inauguration was hardly a measure of development or performance.
He listed many of the administration’s completed projects in road, water, health and education across the state, saying: “Beyond these, we have many ongoing projects that have been designed towards boosting the economic base of the state. We have visual arts centre, film factory, garment factory, innovation hub, and of course the International Conference Centre. There are other major projects too, which we will complete this year, such as Ilesha Gwanara Road, Tunde Idiagbon Bridge, Adeta-Yebumot Road, Osi-Obbo Road, and the largest squash court in the country, which is eight-winged, among many others.”
