The Kwara State Government has intensified its infrastructure development efforts, delivering 84 road and related projects between April and September 2025. This milestone marks a significant stride in the administration's ongoing Urban Renewal Agenda.

The Commissioner for Works, Engr. Abdulquawiy Olododo, disclosed this during the third-quarter inter-ministerial press briefing held at the Ministry of Finance Conference Room on Wednesday.

According to Olododo, the projects span both urban and rural areas, covering a total of 76.5 kilometers in just six months. These initiatives include new road construction, rehabilitation, and interlocking, with the overarching goal of:

• Improving connectivity.
• Reducing travel time.
• Enhancing road safety.
• Reshaping communities across the State.

"This achievement reflects our commitment to modernizing infrastructure in line with the Governor's vision for a more connected and economically vibrant Kwara," the commissioner stated.

In addition to the completed roads, 48 kilometers of roads are currently under construction, while nearly 52 kilometers have been recently approved, signaling continued progress in the coming months.

The commissioner further noted that infrastructural renewal under Governor AbdulRazaq's administration extends beyond roads. The Kwara State Road Maintenance Agency (KWARMA) has intensified palliative works to keep existing roads motorable, ensuring safety and accessibility for all road users.

Meanwhile, the State Fire Service has received new tools, improved communication systems, and advanced training programme to enhance emergency response and safeguard lives and property, saving billions of naira's worth of assets during the period under review.

The government's commitment to rural development was also highlighted through the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP). The initiative is improving rural road networks and upgrading major agricultural markets across all senatorial districts, thereby stimulating economic activity and enhancing rural livelihoods. These efforts have garnered national recognition.

Engr. Olododo emphasized that these infrastructural strides are not just about physical development but are a cornerstone of Governor AbdulRazaq's broader agenda for social progress, inclusive growth, and economic resilience.

"With over 384 kilometers of road projects completed or ongoing since the inception of this administration, Kwara is steadily transforming into a more connected, business-friendly, and resilient State," he concluded.

Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq remains resolute in his commitment to building a stronger Kwara where infrastructure drives inclusive development and every community feels the impact of governance.
