The Kwara State government has erected a 70-metre flagpole, the tallest in West Africa.

Commissioner for Works in the state, Engr. Abdulquawiy Olododo said the towering structure stood as both a cultural lighthouse and an economic catalyst, symbolising the dynamic spirit of the Kwara people.

“Flagpoles have long been pivotal symbols of national pride and identity. Kwara’s newest landmark goes beyond mere symbolism; it acts as a cultural yardstick, reflecting the rich heritage, traditions, and values of the Kwara people, a community known for its harmonious blend of ethnic diversity and shared values.

“The monument also aligns with the emerging status of Kwara State as a destination for technology innovation, creative economy, hospitality and tourism, trade and agribusiness, shedding the age-long appellation as a civil service state where the whole economy revolved just around payment of salary.

“The flag that flies high represents not only the sovereignty of Nigeria but also the collective spirit and unity of the diverse groups that call Kwara home.

“It stands as a poignant reminder of the social cohesion that Kwara embodies, a state where traditions thrive alongside modern progress, fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated and collaboration flourishes.

“This melting of tradition and modernity is neatly encapsulated in the lofty aspirations symbolised by the flagpole—a visual metaphor for the continual growth and elevation of the Kwara people’s unique sociocultural identity,” the Commissioner said.

Economically, Olododo said the flag serves as a beacon that attracts tourism, investment, and development opportunities.

He noted that by drawing visitors from around the globe eager to witness the architectural marvel, Kwara State enhanced its position as a destination for cultural exploration and economic engagement.

“This influx of tourists invigorates local businesses, stimulates job creation, and propels infrastructural developments, igniting a ripple of positive economic impact throughout the community,” Olododo said.

He added that the flagpole also symbolised economic resilience and the burgeoning promise of Kwara State’s future, amplified by ongoing massive urban renewal and investments in key infrastructure such as the innovation hub, international conference centre, film factory, visual arts centre, and many others.

He added that the towering structure encourages introspection on how each resident contributes to the growth and prosperity of the state, emphasising the importance of sustainable development that honours cultural roots while embracing forward-thinking advancements.

“In essence, Kwara State’s tallest flagpole transcends its role as a physical monument; it is a philosophical and practical landmark that underscores the intertwined destinies of cultural pride and economic vitality.

“As it unfurls its flag to the sky, it beckons the Kwara people to celebrate their heritage and emergent socioeconomic status, and seize the opportunities that lie ahead, setting a path for a future of shared prosperity and unity,” Olododo said.
