Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed urged students yesterday to participate in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voter registration.

The governor spoke in Ilorin when students under the auspices of National Association of Kwara State Students (NAKSS) visited him in his office.

He added that their active participation will ensure that they are not disenfranchised next year.

The governor said his administration remains committed to the implementation of policies and programmes that would make the state more developed.

He said the government initiated an entrepreneurship development programme to create job creators and employers of labour, rather than job seekers.

NAKSS endorsed the educational and developmental programmes and policies of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed.

The students pledged their total support for the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government.

Led by their National Public Relations Officer, Obafemi Oyeniyi, they said in the last three years tertiary institutions have had infrastructural development, including the building of 10 new lecture halls at the State College of Education, Oro; building of an e-library at the State polytechnic, Ilorin and the 1,000 capacity auditorium at the College of Arabic and Islamic Studies.

“Today, we have come in thousands to declare our total support  for APC because it is in you our problems of epileptic power supply will be solved, unemployment will go, corruption will end, rule of law  will become the order of the day and strike will end.”
