Kwara govt announces completion of 38 major projects in three months
The Kwara state government, through the Ministry of Works and Transports, has disclosed that 38 major projects were completed in the last three months, while 46 others are currently in progress.
Engr. Abdulquawiy Olododo, the state commissioner for Works and Transports, while presenting the ministry’s scorecard during the quarterly ministerial press briefing organised by the Ministry of Communications on Tuesday, also highlighted the ongoing construction of 209.77 kilometres of rural roads under the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP).
Engr. Olodod, while reiterating the government’s commitment to delivering infrastructural development across the state, noted that ongoing partnerships on compressed natural gas (CNG) would further enhance the state’s transition to cleaner energy while creating jobs for residents.

He said, “In line with the administration’s commitment to cleaner energy, the state government has keyed into the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNG-I), resulting in the delivery of 20 18-seater shuttle buses and 20 tricycles to bolster the public transport system at affordable rates for residents.”
The commissioner, however, commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq’s exceptional leadership, describing his relentless commitment to infrastructure and urban renewal as transformative, adding that the governor’s vision is not only about building physical structures but also about creating opportunities, boosting economic activities, and improving the quality of life for every Kwaran.
“Governor AbdulRazaq’s investment in road construction, urban renewal, and transportation has set Kwara on a trajectory of sustainable development. His administration’s approach has brought a new lease of life to communities across the state, bridging gaps in infrastructure and opening up rural areas to economic opportunities,” Olododo remarked.
