Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved the construction of the 10-kilometre Oke-Ose/Ile-Apa/Lajiki road in Ilorin East Local Government Area of the state.
The governor announced the approval on Wednesday during a visit to the Alangua of Lajiki, Alhaji Solihu Atanda, promising that construction would begin within two weeks.
AbdulRazaq said the road project was necessary to ease the transportation of farm produce to markets and boost economic activities in the benefiting communities.
He also promised to address the communities’ challenges with electricity and water supply to improve residents’ living conditions.
The governor thanked the people for their support and urged them to vote for all All Progressives Congress candidates in the 2027 elections.
In his response, Atanda appreciated the governor for the visit and developmental projects executed in the community. He also commended AbdulRazaq for considering indigenes for political appointments and elective positions, particularly Dr. Afees Abolore Alabi and Jimoh Ali, who were recently nominated as commissioners.
The community leader pledged the continued support of the people for the administration and said they were ready to vote for APC candidates in the 2027 polls.
Earlier, the governor paid a condolence visit to the family of the late Sarkin Gambari of Ilorin, Alhaji Ahmad Yahaya Seriki, who died on Tuesday and was buried on Wednesday according to Islamic rites. He also visited the family of the Sarkin Gobir in Ilorin to commiserate with them over the recent death of their matriarch.
