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.
All of these, which have been made possible by our constant payment of counterpart funding, are to be done in partnership with the World Bank and other donor agencies. The projects are worth US$60m and would be spread across the 16 local government areas of the state in phases.
I commend the World Bank and the International Donor Agencies for their support. I also thank the Ministry of Works and Transport, the State Project Monitoring Committee (SPMC) and the State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU), among others, for their hard work and commitment.

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, 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.

I join our compatriots in Kwara State and across the country to welcome another year. It is indeed a time to congratulate one another for surviving the outgone year which, no thanks to the Corona virus pandemic, shook human civilisation to its foundation.
While COVID-19 and the economic crisis are still with us, there are glimmers of hope that the worst is behind us. It is therefore a time to rebuild our world.

In Kwara, our administration will push harder the efforts to reposition the state for sustainable and inclusive growth.
We will continue to pay special attention to the vulnerable and the poor, which has stood us out, while our investments in basic amenities will continue within available resources. We will invest more in the legitimate dreams and aspirations of our youths.

Fellow Kwarans:

I have just had an emergency security meeting with heads 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.
It was a pure act of criminality. Some persons are hiding under the nationwide tension to commit crimes.

The government has a duty to protect law abiding citizens and their properties.

Our reality is that if we accede to the demands of the labour as they are, we will not be able to do any other thing other than paying workers. Our schools, like the Banni Community Secondary School which I visited today, have collapsed; ImageImageImage
the basic health facilities need to be fixed; and we need to do much more for the rest of the population too.

We have a huge infrastructural deficit and we cannot spend 100% of our earnings on paying salaries.
The school I visited today is totally dilapidated like most schools in Kwara state. It is amazing that students learn inside here. Library is gone. The laboratory is gone. The roofs have largely been blown off.
