A stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Engr. Nurudeen Balogun, has praised the Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for approving infrastructural projects worth N10bn for Kwara south senatorial district.
Balogun who decried the past neglect of Kwara south in infrastructure development, noted that improved road network is crucial for boosting the movement of goods and services, fostering economic
growth, and unlocking the industrial potential of local communities.
Impressed by the governor’s strategic approach to resource allocation, Balogun commended AbdulRazaq’s focus on maximizing returns on investments.
He hailed the governor’s data-driven decision-making which has ensured that infrastructural projects are based on merit rather than favoritism, adding that “this approach creates a level playing field for all regions within the state”.
The politician described the proposed industrial hub to be sited in Kwara south as another exciting project, noting that, ” this project will be a game-changer, attracting businesses and creating jobs.
” Additionally, the governor’s focus on tourism potentials is exemplified by the planned development of Owu Water Falls. Increased accessibility to Esie Museum, thanks to the recently upgraded Museum road, has led to a surge in visitors’ numbers.
” Governor AbdulRazaq’s empathy for the people has also been evident.
He was among the first responders to the Owode market fire in Offa, providing financial assistance to those affected. Similarly, the rehabilitation of the General Hospital in Oro demonstrates the administration’s commitment to improving healthcare delivery system,” Balogun said.
