Kwara Stakeholders Hail Buhari, AbdulRazaq Over 284 km Road Projects

The Kwara North Development Council (KWANDCO) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government for approving the rehabilitation of four major roads in Kwara State.

   The Federal Executive Council (FEC) had last Wednesday approved the rehabilitation of four roads totaling 284km in Kwara north senatorial district.

   The roads, as approved by FEC, are Kosubosu – Kaiama – Bode-Saadu (130km), Bacita – Tsonga – Lafiagi (83km), Eyenkorin – Afon – Offa – Odo Ottin (49km) and Okuta -Bukuro (32km).

   Speaking with LEADERSHIP in Ilorin, the state capital, the chairman of KWANDCO, Hon Ahmed Muhammad, described as commendable the listing of the four roads among the federal projects, using the President’s Executive Order 7 under the Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme with the BUA Group.

   “We, on behalf of the people of Kwara north, Kwara State and the commuting public, want to appreciate the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government for their concern for the plight of the people of the area and, indeed, the commuting public.

“We want to use this medium to appeal to the BUA Group to ensure speedy commencement and quality work. We urge BUA to consider the plight of the people in the areas. Continuity and completion in good time can only be guaranteed when the projects are properly funded,” he said.

Muhammad also commended Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and other relevant stakeholders for their role in ensuring the roads got the FEC’s attention and approval, adding that, “the completion of these roads will breathe life into the social and economic dynamism of Kwara North which is the agricultural epicentre of Kwara State serving agricultural produce, in large quantity, to the south – west and other parts of the country.”
