The Kwara State government has commissioned multi-million Naira projects in the Ilorin South Local Government Area (LGA) of the State, today.

The Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development, Hon. Abubakar Abdullahi Bata who commended the Executive Chairman of the Ilorin South LGA for the projects executed, urged other Councils to emulate him.

The Commissioner explained that though he had visited some Councils recently, he was very elated over the choices of projects and most importantly, the outpours of the benefiting communities who had come out en-mass to show appreciation to the Chairman.

Hon. Bata thanked the Executive Chairman for identifying with his people over the choices of projects executed, which cut across different sectors such as provision of water, health, education, and  electrifications.

He also thanked the management of the LGA and most importantly, the legislative arm that were visibly present at their various constituencies for the commissioning. He described the synergy with the executive arm as necessary to foster speedy development and implored other Councils to borrow a leaf from  Ilorin South LGA in the choices and implementation of projects, which would have direct impact on the electorates, adding that imitating is never an offence, as long as it is positive. The Commissioner thanked the Chairman and the benefiting communities for their cooperation and Implored them to guard the projects well.

Earlier in his remarks, the Executive Chairman, Hon. Nuhu Abdulmajeed thanked the Commissioner for the words of encouragement and  appreciated his leadership style, adding that most of the projects  commissioned were done to replicate the giant strides of Governor  AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and keep the promises made during the electioneering campaigns to his constituents.

He, however, appealed to other communities with similar requests to exercise patience as they would be attended to as soon as funds were available.

Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mrs Iyabo Modupe Adekeye, thanked the Executive Chairman for identifying with his people on the choices of projects executed and appreciated the kind support of the Council professionals, reminding them to always adhere to the procurement laws.
