AbdulRazaq Inspects Projects, Pledges Improved Service Delivery

The Kwara State governor,  AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq during the week paid snap visits to inspect projects and touch base with community folks in Asa local government area of the state.

The visits took him to the under-renovation Afon General Hospital, Afon Waterworks, under-renovation Primary Health Center (PHC), and Eiyenkorin /Afon/ Offa /Odo- Otin road.

At the residence of Daudu Afon, Alh Hanafi Balogun,  the governor said the administration continues to deploy resources to strengthen existing infrastructure and build new ones for the good of the people.

He told the district  head that the visit was to enable him to touch base with the realities at the grassroots, especially to see the

ongoing works in Afon and other parts of the local government.

“We are glad to be back here in Afon. We are not here to celebrate our achievements, but to seek to know what the (new) challenges are, and how we can surmount them and improve on what we have done,” Governor Abdulrazaq said, moderately acknowledging the commendations of the Daudu and other community leaders.

“You can count on us to continue to deliver services to Afon. As you can see, work is going on at Afon General Hospital. We are also visiting the Waterworks. And we have seen several infrastructure projects going on in Afon. We will continue to do more,” the governor said.

The governor’s tour coincided with the visit of members of the State Drug Control Committee, led by Barakat Olarewaju, who are on a statewide anti-drug abuse campaign to check the prevalence of drug abuse in the state.

AbdulRazaq thanked the district head and the people of the town for their support and warm reception, pledging to continue to prioritize their well-being.

He also praised the anti-drug control committee for their patriotism, urging them to intensify the campaign to reduce the spread of drug abuse in the state.

“It is an impromptu visit. You can see that the public money is being spent judiciously, including through the State Drug Control Committee.

We didn’t know we would meet them (Drug Control Committee) here. I thank you for the work you are doing. We count on you to help reduce the percentage of drug prevalence in the society,” he added.

The district head of Afon, Alh Hanafi, for his part, hailed the Governor for his impressive works in the local government and for appointing their sons and daughters into key positions.

“We are happy and grateful to Your Excellency for the good work in Afon, especially the construction of the township road,” he said.
