Kwara Emerges as Top State in Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project

Date: 2025-02-04

The World Bank has ranked Kwara State, located in North Central Nigeria, as the top-performing state in counterpart funding payments for the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP).

This announcement was made in Abuja during the 8th RAAMP Implementation Support Mission, an event that assesses states' progress in preparation for the upcoming year.

“This is a big win for our state. It shows how committed His Excellency has been to the cause of equitable development. This award is a confirmation of his efforts to develop our state,” Commissioner for Works and Transport Engr. Abdulquawiy Olododo said shortly after the award was announced.

The Commissioner also disclosed that at the session, awards across different categories were given, and Kwara won two categories.

Olododo added that the state won the overall best in counterpart funding among the 19 participating states.

“What this means is that no state paid more counterpart funding to the programme than Kwara amongst the participating states,” the Commissioner stated.

According to him, the state also won the award for overall disbursement, which means no state among the 13 states in our category drew more funds than Kwara from the World Bank and French Development Bank.

The evidence for this abounds as construction works are ongoing on 209.77 km of roads across the state, the commissioner explained further.
