Kwara Governor inspects multistorey hospital, showcases road projects statewide

Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Sunday inspected ongoing construction work at the multistorey Oluremi Tinubu Hospital in Ilorin, the state capital.

Governor AbdulRazaq in an interview with reporters at the site said the hospital project is one of his administration’s investments in public health, education, road networks, and social investment across various demographies.

Last Tuesday, the Governor inspected different rural road projects in Asa Local Government, including 23.23 kilometres Oko Olowo Express-Sokoto-Tafatafa-Elere-Owode Oja Baba Kudu-Akopari-Otte Oja road and 17.7km Madi Peeke road.

He said the government has constructed many roads within and outside the capital city Ilorin, while many others are ongoing.

The Governor noted that many other states of the federation are also doing well in project execution, citing massive hospital projects in Lagos, Kaduna, and many other states.

He tied the surge in project executions across the states, including in road, school, and health sectors, to the rise in allocation that followed the removal of fuel subsidy.

He also commended President Bola Tinubu for his support for the state.

“The First Lady of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu was here six months ago to lay the foundation of this world-class hospital. And work has progressed tremendously. Hopefully, in the second quarter of next year, we’ll be done with it. The majority of the equipment have been ordered already: radiography machine, a CT scanner, MRI, PET scan machines, and all sorts of equipment have been ordered.” Abdulrazaq explained.

He added that the administration is also working on other projects, including in other parts of the state such as the International Conference Centre, ICT Centre Shonga, Patigi (Regatta) Motel, Sheabutter Factory in Kaiama, and Ibrahim Taiwo Road in Offa.
