At the round-up session of the 3-day retreat with the cabinet members, I explained to the team the reality on ground: we are building from scratch with very limited resources.

Based on our current reality, our manifesto has been dissected and... ImageImageImage
...we now know that we can’t do everything we had set out to do and, because of this, we will focus on key sectors. We are going to go big on agriculture, health care, education and enterprise - social investment scheme, job creation and infrastructure.
We have few motor-able roads, electricity supply is low, the healthcare and the school system have collapsed. I can't over-emphasise the challenges ahead of us and that means we all have to work together. That is what a cabinet is all about.
We are all in it together like the symbol of our political party — broom. So, we need to be strong together to move the state forward.

I also reminded the cabinet members that they are ambassadors of their respective communities and...
...they must be able to tell us what the priorities of their communities are so as to ensure they feel the impact of our administration.

I am grateful to everyone who made out time to share their ideas with us and I thank the Almighty for making the retreat a success. #Iseya

I congratulate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his well-deserving emergence as the presidential candidate of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), in next year's election.
The voting pattern indeed represents a resounding vote of confidence by the largest majority of party faithfuls and leaders in his capacity to lead the party to another victory.
It was a moment to speak to the direction the party must take to consolidate on its own wins, build on the many successes of President Muhammadu Buhari, and raise a dynamic successor team that is able to take up the challenges of nation-building

Today I went to Oro, an ancient town in Irepodun local government area of Kwara State, to commiserate with the victims of yesterday’s inferno at the Oro Central Market in which at least 30 shops got burnt.
I have directed the state’s emergency management agency to enumerate those affected to enable us provide some support for individuals who have lost properties.
Also, I visited the Oro General Hospital to see first hand what the real issues are, and begin the process of actualising our plans for the hospital.

I join the Muslim community, especially in Kwara State, to thank the Almighty Allaah for another opportunity to witness another Ramadan.
It is another moment to show immense gratitude to the Almighty for His mercies just as it is a new window to get closer to our creator through increased good deeds and going out of our ways to make life worth living for others in our communities.
I specifically felicitate the Emir of Ilorin Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari and the entire Muslim community while wishing everyone a spiritually rewarding Ramadan ahead.

Since 2017, a group of 25 women in Agindigbi and Onila communities in Irepodun LGA have been contributing money to build their communities’ schools because they never had one.I visited them today & I returned the money, N1,000,000, which is equivalent of what they’ve spent so far ImageImageImage
We will continue the good work that they have started by expanding the classrooms and improving the facilities.
I’m really inspired by the actions of these women. They have, over the years, taken a fraction of the money they received from Federal Government’s Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme and contributed it to building schools in their own communities.

Today, I met the with the National coordinator Rural Access and Agriculture Marketing Project(RAAMP) Abuja Engr. Aminu Muhammed and his team before the flag-off of the construction of the 5.2km Alapa-Arobadi pilot road in Asa LGA.
Under this project, our administration will upgrade 125 kilometres of road to asphalt or sealed materials, carry out spot improvement on 450 kilometres of road and routine maintenance on 700 kilometres of road.
Our government will also carry out backlog maintenance on 200 kilometres of road, five river crossings will be fixed, while some existing markets will be upgraded to hubs.

Today, January 3, 2021, the portals for taking applications for a new crop of teachers will go live. That begins a new process to fill our schools with qualified and competent tutors who will teach our children in basic classes and senior secondary schools across Kwara State.
It is an enormous task that we do not take for granted. It a task for which our administration will be judged — coming after we painfully nullified a process that had thrown up some 2,414 teachers.
Without mincing words, no patriotic person should defend the nullified process. It was egregiously faulty. Political interests had a field day dictating which individual got a place in our classrooms with scanty regard for merit.
