By -


The Managing Director of the Kwara Garment Factory, Hajia Bukola Adedeji, has lauded Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s visionary leadership for the remarkable progress recorded by the Factory between January and April 2025.

Speaking at the Inter-Ministerial Press Briefing organized by the Ministry of Communications at the Conference Hall of the Ministry of Finance,  Hajia Adedeji highlighted key milestones achieved within the period, attributing the success to the Governor’s strategic focus on industrialization, job creation, and youths and women empowerment.

“None of this would be possible without the bold leadership of His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (CON), whose industrialisation drive continues to position Kwara as a rising force in Nigeria’s economy,” she said.

According to her, the Factory, built to empower, employ, and elevate, has created thousands of direct and indirect jobs, with particular focus on women and youths. She highlighted the achievements of the Garment Factory  between January–April 2025 as follows:

In January, the Kwara Garment Factory received the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu (OON), who endorsed the Factory’s efforts toward empowering women and youths. In a show of support, she awarded ₦20,000 stipends to hundreds of the factory workers.

The Factory also introduced a robust quality control system to enhance production standards and took strategic steps to position itself for continental trade under the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).

February was marked by notable projects, including the production of branded apparel for the Renewed Hope Initiative Agricultural Programme and the supply of custom souvenir items to the First Lady of Kwara State, Ambassador Professor Olufolake AbdulRazaq. Additionally, the Factory delivered branded T-shirts and caps to the Kwara State Residents Registration Agency (KWASRRA).

March saw the delivery of factory uniforms to TASCON, Ilorin and the production of over 25,000 tote bags for a major organization—further underscoring the Factory’s capacity for large-scale production. Public visibility also improved significantly through a feature on Kwara TV’s Network Kwara, where Hajia Adedeji shared the Factory’s story and achievements.

In April, the Factory continued to expand its impact by producing branded polo shirts for the KWARA LEARN educational initiative and custom Aso-Oke souvenir bags for the Nigerian Air Force, set to be presented during the upcoming African Armed Forces event.

Reflecting on the achievements, Hajia Adedeji stated, “The Kwara Garment Factory has become a shining example of Governor AbdulRazaq’s commitment to industrialization, job creation, and inclusive growth.”

She affirmed the Factory’s commitment to deepening its impact by expanding production, empowering more Kwarans, and positioning the Factory as a continental leader in garment manufacturing.

“As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to building a stronger, more prosperous Kwara", she concluded.
