At today’s virtual Kwara State Executive Council meeting, the cabinet thoroughly debated and gave approvals for the construction of an ICT innovation hub, a visual arts centre, and the upgrade to asphalt overlay of the 32 Kilometer Ilesha-Baruba-Gwanara road.
The innovation hub will serve as an idea incubation centre for tech startups, SMEs, and a place to collaborate with other innovation stakeholders, while...
the visual arts centre will complement our existing tourist attractions and drive traffic in the entertainment industry to Kwara, thereby boosting our socioeconomic potentials.
The asphalt overlay of the Ilesha-Bariba-Gwanara Road will increase the life span of that important road, which will open up the agricultural potential and contribute to the overall economic development of our state. #ISENLO

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
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.
