He said the administration was resolute on its decision to positively transform the lives of the people of the state and would not relent until the goal was achieved

The governor stated this at the swearing-in of two new Special Advisers, a Commissioner in the State Civil Service Commission and the inauguration of the Board of Harmony Holdings Limited,

He said, "As a responsible administration, we have made the economic empowerment of our people and the prosperity of our state the number one priority."

He said that within a year, the administration’s shared prosperity programme has yielded massive youth jobs, immense physical and social infrastructure, bold agricultural reforms and wealth creation.

Ahmed urged the new commissioners and board members to internalise and imbibe the tenets of the programme and make valuable contributions to its effective implementation.

He said Kwara State Holdings Limited with 20 companies, was expected to deliver minimum annual revenue of N50 billion by the year 2032 as one of the top three government owned holding companies in Nigeria in the next ten years.

The governor said the Holdings Company would further diversify its operations into other sectors such as finance and investment, Mortgage, Agriculture and Construction.
