Kwara Central 2027: X-ray of AbdulRazaq’s Grassroots Development Projects
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq during his campaigns in 2019 promised to fast track grassroots and deliver dividends of democracy to every part of Kwara State. The Governor has indeed kept his promise with Kwarans with execution of impactful projects in the cities, towns, villages and hinterlands across the 16 local government areas.
No wonder, his decision to run for Kwara Central Senatorial seat in 2027 general elections has gained momentum. People of Ilorin West, Ilorin South, Ilorin East and Asa local government areas are eager to elect AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as their Senator.
He has executed projects ranging from health, education, water, road and agriculture in the 52 wards within Kwara Central Senatorial district.
In the health sector, the AbdulRazaq administration has renovated many Primary Health Centres/ Basic Health Centres, Cottage Hospitals in Ogidi and Adewole, procured Medical Laboratory Equipment and Ambulances to make quality healthcare accessible to people in rural communities.
In addition, the effective implementation of Kwara State Health Insurance known as KwaraCare eased the burden of artisans, farmers, and self employed individuals in rural communities by making health services accessible and affordable. The state government regularly organises statewide free medical outreach to take healthcare delivery to people’s doorstep.
It’s worthy of note that AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq administration has constructed Classrooms, Examination Halls, Staff Offices, Toilet facilities and motorised boreholes in School in Asa, Ilorin South, Ilorin West and Ilorin East.
Just like the health, Kwara Central residents are having clean and portable water in unserved communities while they previously trek long distance to get stream water. Governor Abdulrazaq drilled hundreds of boreholes and repaired existing ones across the four local government areas. Some communities in Ilorin South and Asa LGs recently benefited from the Solar powered boreholes.
Apart from that, the current administration has constructed about 100 roads and upgraded existing roads to ease movement of residents as well as help farmers take their farm produces to markets without stress.
Some of the rural roads constructed include Afon township, Aboto-Oja-Alata road, Osin-Laduba road, Ogele-Orisumbare-Medinat road, Ogbondoroko-Amoyo Bye-pass, Sheikh Alimi Community Road, Tanke-Oke-odo Ring Road and grading of Ita-Elepa-Osin-Laduba-Aiyetoro Road.
Similarly, the state government has installed streetlights in roads, even in rural communities to enhance security and business activities. This administration also distributed transformers to many communities in Kwara Central and other parts of the state to ensure residents enjoy improved electricity supply.
All the aforementioned projects with regular empowerment and support for farmers has endeared Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to Kwara Central residents. They would be happy to have him as their Senator in order to consolidate on gains recorded at the state level.
