The AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq led @followKWSG in less than a year in office conceptualised the idea of bridging the wide infrastructural gap in the state through its rural-urban renewal initiative project and the rebuilding process has touched the lives of the people across
the different demographics; creating job opportunities for its teeming youths and promoting local content development.
The rural-urban renewal initiative project continues in Oro-Ago — Oyate Road, Ifelodun LGA of the state as the rehabilitation work nears completion with asphalt laying presently ongoing.
The project cuts across critical infrastructure including education, health, energy, water resources and road infrastructure in an attempt to provide Kwarans with access to quality and affordable social services.
The good people of Kwara State in appreciation of AbdulRazaq's approach to governance has commended the governor, urging him to sustain his strategy of inclusive growth and development which has given equal sense of belonging to all Kwarans regardless of political affiliations.

Update on curfew in Ilorin Metropolis (Kwara State)
Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq this evening held a security council meeting with heads of the security agencies in the state.
A review of the situation in the ilorin metropolis suggested a relative calm.
The meeting observed that the objective of the curfew has largely been achieved as the misguided elements who looted and vandalised public and private properties have been pushed back and normalcy restored.

Text of the broadcast by Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on the security situation in the state on October 23rd 2020
Fellow Kwarans:
I have just had an emergency security meeting with commanders of various security agencies in the state. This is to assess the situation in the state.
Over the last few days, I had earlier met with the traditional rulers, opinion leaders, members of the student community, and many other stakeholders in the state.
Our observation is that what has happened so far today was not a protest. It cannot be defended under any guise.
Attacks on cargo terminal unfortunate, condemnable: Kwara govt
·Says remaining palliatives meant for one LG, vulnerable groups
·Victims from 15 LGs already got own shares
Attack by some hoodlums on the cargo terminal in Ilorin to prey on palliatives meant for the poor is condemnable, inexplicable, and does not reflect the good nature of the people of the state, the Kwara State Government said on Friday.
The government said the CACOVID and the state government had since distributed majority of the palliatives to the identified vulnerable households in 15 of the 16 local government areas of the state, according to a statement by the Commissioner for Communications @HonOshatimehin.
Kwara State Government has raised the alarm over plots by some anarchists to launch violent attacks on public properties in the state as part of their grand plan to destabilise the country to achieve sinister objectives.
“The government is in possession of intelligence reports that some anarchists, backed by certain political interests, are planning to attack public facilities in the state especially the capital city Ilorin.
