Kwara State Government says it will prioritise road development, to boost economic activities.

Deputy Governor Kayode Alabi, who spoke on Thursday in Ilorin while hosting community leaders from Oyun and Asa local governments, said the government realised that road was germane to the people, adding that it would take steps to ensure that the state had good roads to ensure easy movement of people and goods, especially farm produce from rural to urban areas.

The leader of the team, who is the Olugonna of Igbonna, Oba Abubakar Oloyede, hailed the achievements of the present administration and prayed for its success in the task ahead.

He, however, called for the construction of roads linking the two local governments, to ensure transportation of goods and boost commercial activities.

Sen. Suleiman Ajadi, one of the honorary chiefs in Asa Local Government, noted that construction of roads would make life meaningful for the people.
