Why my administration is people-focused? Kwara governor says

Governor of Kwara state, H. E. Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has stated that the people-focused investments of his administration has over the years been deliberate in reciprocating the decision they made electing him.

He said this during the visit if the Emir of Ilorin Dr. Ibrahim Sulu Gambari at the Government house on the annual bareke, a royal practice spanning many years where the traditional institution reciprocates an earlier sallah homage by the head of the government institution.

The governor said that his administration has been deliberate in ensuring that every segment of the population gets their fair share of dividends of democracy within available resources. 

According to him, "We have launched a health insurance scheme that is currently benefiting over 31,000 indigents and thousands more. We have established a safety net programme under which at least 10,000 vulnerable senior citizens are benefiting. Every local government area has benefited from our developmental interventions in road, water, health, and education projects.

"Recently, we concluded a recruitment exercise that was a total departure from the past. Every qualified person was given equitable opportunity to compete. This is what our people voted for. At the end of the exercise, we engaged 4701 ICT-compliant teachers. No applicant needed anyone to speak for them before they got the job. It is a big leap for the education sector and the future of our state."

Governor Abdulrazaq stated that the state has numerous number of ongoing projects that will change the story of Kwara state forever, adding that his administration will deliver the largest ICU facility in the whole of North Central region. 

While commending the Emir and other traditional leaders for their support, He applauded President Buhari on his untiring efforts to check the spate of criminality in the country, and the gallantry of security agencies in the state in making Kwara inhospitable for criminal elements.

Speaking , Dr. Sulu Gambari praised the governor of his humbleness and a job well done, saying that such act will surely get reward from Allah. 

He said that in Ilorin, the people are united and are strategic to national growth and harmony, praying that Governor Abdulrazaq administration succeeds in its numerous and laudable efforts toward human capital development, innovations and infrastructures.
