Minister Assures Offa of Developmental Projects
The minister of National Planning, Dr. Abubakar Suleiman has assured the people of Offa in Kwara State that the town will witness new developmental projects that will be captured in the 2015 budget.

He urged the "people of the town to key into the ruling PDP and the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan to be free from bondage, injustice unfair treatment and lopsided development saying "the PDP of today stands for justice,fairness and development."
He added, "we believe in our search for liberation for the people of kwara
state,we must start from Offa. Offa is assumed as the strong hold of opposition in Kwara South, they are not just in the opposition for nothing's sake,they are known to be progressives because they don't condone injustice, tyrants."
