The Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has assured the people of Kwara State of his avowed commitment to attracting more capital projects and appointments into the state.

He said the people of the state deserve nothing but the best in acknowledgement of their support to him and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Saraki gave the assurance shortly after inspecting some ongoing federal road projects in Ilorin and Asa local government areas of the state

The road projects he inspected include Afon/Aboto/Oyo state boundary road construction and Michael Imodu/Afon Junction in Ilorin.

LEADERSHIP learnt that the Senate president facilitated the award of contracts for the two all-important federal roads.

Prior to Saraki's intervention, the boundary road was in a deplorable condition with its attendant road accidents and incessant robberies along the route.

Expectedly, the construction of the road would boost commercial between the people of Kwara and Oyo states when completed.

Saraki, who was conducted round by the contractors handling the road projects, expressed satisfaction with the level of work done and urged the contractors to speed up the pace of work in order to deliver the projects in good time.
