The chairman of a leading pro- democracy group – Alliance For Sustainable Kwara (ASK), Alh AbdulRazaq Lawal has hailed the Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for gradually turning the state into a model.
Lawal noted that the governor has not only turned Ilorin, the state capital into a model city, he has also initiated applausive moves to make every part of the state worthy of habitation through the ongoing massive infrastructural projects across communities in all the three senatorial districts in the state.
He made reference to the recent flag -off of the construction, rehabilitation, and upgrade of rural roads totaling 209.77 kilometers across the three senatorial districts in the state by the governor as a testament to his desire to bequeath a Kwara that all would be proud of.
Lawal, in a statement that was released at the end of the monthly meeting of ASK on Tuesday and signed by the association’s secretary, Alh Abdullahi Olesin, thanked the Sardauna of Ilorin for his interest in the development of every part of the state.
He also expressed delight about the level of construction works at the Osi ( Kwara South) and Baruten ( Kwara north) satellite campuses of the Kwara State University, Malete (KWASU).
The former commissioner for Special Duties in the state noted that the two KWASU satellite campuses when become fully operational will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs for the people of the state.
He said the university campuses will also bring out the transformation of the host communities from rural areas to model cities.
Lawal also applauded the establishment of Kwara State University of Education, Ilorin by the governor and the subsequent appointment of a woman, Prof. Medinat Salman as the pioneer acting vice chancellor of the new university.
While assuring the governor of the continued support of members of ASK for his people – centered administration, Lawal urged the governor not to be distracted by the lousy opposition elements who he noted are not interested in the development of the state, but personally aggrandizement.
He said history will be kind to Governor AbdulRazaq for his statesmanship, self- denial, sacrifices, prudent management of the state’s resources, and commitment to the development of the state.
