LG Autonomy Fully Effective in Kwara – Governor’s Aide
The senior adviser and counselor to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, Alhaji Saadu Salahudeen, has affirmed that local government autonomy is fully effective in the state. Speaking in Ilorin on Sunday, Salahudeen stated that the governor’s stance on local government autonomy aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Community Visit Highlights LG Impact
Salahudeen made the remarks when the people of Ayegbami community in Dada, Okelele, Ilorin, paid him a thank-you visit. The visit was in appreciation of the repair of their vandalised electricity transformer, which was fully funded by the Ilorin East Local Government. According to Salahudeen, this gesture demonstrates that local government administration in the state has become highly effective under the administrations of President Tinubu and Governor AbdulRazaq.
Governor Praised for Empowering Councils
He praised the governor for implementing full local government autonomy, which has revived the previously moribund local government administration by granting council chairmen the freedom to operate independently. Salahudeen noted that dividends of democracy are now being felt at the grassroots across all parts of the local government.
Specific Projects Undertaken
Highlighting achievements, Salahudeen said, “In Ibagun Ward in particular, Ilorin East local government has remodeled the Upper Area Court Complex in Akerebiata, along Sobi Army Barrack road, Ilorin, donated a transformer to Igbawere community, constructed drainage and graded Abata Jagun, Sorafaja/Al-Nur road; repaired boreholes at Olaoparun, Omitopo, Dada, Alawo-Nla areas and Kankatu Market which was equally remodeled after a rainstorm, not long ago.”
Community Expresses Gratitude
Earlier, the chairman of Ayegbami Community Development Association, Imam Daud Alata, requested Salahudeen to convey the profound gratitude of the community to the Ilorin East Local Government chairman, Hon. Lukman Agbelere, for the transformer repair and other developmental projects.
