According to him, the purpose of the project was to boost agricultural as well as economic activities in the State, adding that the lands acquired were willingly released by the owners through compensation for the development of the State. 

The Chairman therefore, noted that the acquisition of lands for the livestock project was a positive step, indicating the determination of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to development the State. He implored the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the money and to always support the government through active surveillance of the acquired lands in their communities.

Also speaking, the Director, Lands Services, ESV Abdulwahab AbdulRahman said the acquired lands would be used for livestock project, not anything else, urging the land owners to cooperate with the Government to further entrench the culture of good governance in the State.

Responding on behalf of the two families, Mr Alao Azeez appreciated the State Government and the management of the Kwara State Geographic Information Service for the good gesture and prayed for more insights for the State Government to achieve greater heights. 

The event was well attended by the management staff of the KWGIS.
