ADDRESS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, ABDULRAHMAN ABDULRAZAQ, THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF KWARA STATE, ON THE OCCASION OF THE SWEARING-IN OF THE PERMANENT SECRETARIES IN KWARA STATE CIVIL SERVICE

I congratulate all of you the new permanent secretaries for this feat.
The position of Permanent Secretary is the highest anyone can attain as a civil servant. I therefore join your family and well-wishers to thank the Almighty God for this success in your career. I also pray him to guide you through this new phase of your life.
You are coming on board at a crucial time in the life of this state. Kwara State is undergoing a rebuilding process. This requires prudence, creativity, discipline, team work, and sacrifice.
Our job as an administration has been made tougher by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which has cut revenue streams. It is crunch-time. Even so, I believe that the pandemic offers us a unique opportunity to be creative, reassess our priorities, and readjust accordingly.
I like to repeat that we are not perfect but we will not be found wanting in sincerity and commitment in the service of our people. Similarly, we welcome feedbacks and criticisms that fully consider where Kwara is coming from.
I want to add that every kobo of public funds matters. Anyone entrusted with same would have the burden of accounting for it. This is why I welcome the oversight functions that the House of Assembly has recently embarked upon.
It is good for democracy, accountability, transparency, and development. It is in line with the spirit of Otoge. Contractors, civil servants, and public officials are to note therefore that we must do things differently.
There would be no protection for anyone who messes with public resources.

Once again, I congratulate the new permanent secretaries and I wish you all God’s guidance in all that you do.

Thank you.

I am glad to announce that for the first time since its founding, the Radio Kwara, our collective patrimony that was once upon a time the pride of our people, will be going 24 hours at 12 a.m. on Wednesday.
This is a new chapter for this great radio station. Similar development is in the work for Kwara State Television Authority and the Herald newspaper. I congratulate the management and staff of Radio Kwara for this feat and I urge them to never drop the ball.
I call on every Kwaran, home and abroad, to support the new vision for our own Radio Kwara. The new management has the mandate to make the Radio Kwara the darling of every citizen by giving voice to everyone, broadening the civic space, and adhering to professionalism.

What Kwarans voted for was change. They were tired of how things were being done before. They needed a new beginning to chart a new course. That's the task we are charged with. The question they are asking us is how we are funding our numerous projects?
The answer is because we are prudent in the management of public resources.

For example, all the lawmakers are entitled to a vehicle each. So far, they have sacrificed that. That possibly runs to over a billion. Our commissioners are also entitled to vehicles.
That also runs to over a billion. The Governor and the deputy Governor and their aides are also entitled to vehicles which also run to over a billion. We all have sacrificed such in order to invest in critical infrastructure for the state.

1. Yesterday evening , April  6, 2020, we received the official report from the NCDC of samples earlier taken to the Ibadan test centre. The test confirmed that Kwara State now has two cases of COVID-19. The first is the wife of a man who recently returned from UK.
2. The second case is a diabetic patient who also had a travel history to the UK. He came into the country on March 18. He has since gone into self isolation with his wife. Following reasonable suspicion, sample was taken from him and he has now been confirmed positive.
3. Our job is cut out for us and we are definitely not dropping the ball. Contact tracing by the Rapid Response Team of the medical advisory committee has so far netted 75 persons who have had contacts with the cases and the suspected case at UITH.
