Kwara state PDP has applauded the Federal Government’s decision to choose the Kwara state University (KWASU) , Malete as one of the six universities in the country that will benefit from its ICT Experience Centre initiative.
‘The party views this initiative as a significant investment in the future of the young people and a major step towards technological advancement in educational institutions in the country’ Kwara state PDP submitted in a statement issued in Ilorin and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Olusegun Olusola Adewara on Tuesday.
The party lauded the FG for recognizing and investing in KWASU which is ‘one of the legacy projects of the Bukola Saraki-led PDP administration in the state’ while adding that the institution has continued to stand as a testament to the unmatched visionary leadership and development strides made during the Saraki administration .
Kwara state PDP also chronicled the former governor’s accomplishments.
‘Other notable projects initiated during the Saraki administration, such as Shonga Farm Holdings, Harmony Advanced Diagnostic Centre, International Aviation College, the cargo terminal of the Ilorin International Airport, Metropolitan Square, Harmony Holdings, the Post Office Flyover, the Asa Dam/Offa Garage Bridge and host of others have continued to positively impact the lives of ordinary Kwarans.
All the aforementioned projects stand as pillars of development and progress, deflating the political hypocrisy of the ruling government, just like KWASU, which has recently attracted another multimillion-naira developmental initiative by the Federal Government.
The Kwara PDP notes that despite persistent efforts by the Kwara state Government to downplay and diminish the achievements linked to Saraki which are today’s symbols of modern Kwara, our party is proud that seventeen years after Saraki left office, these projects continue to benefit the people of Kwara, proving critics wrong and highlighting the lasting positive changes brought about during his administration.
For instance, in 2018, the Federal Government, through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Committee of Governors, invested N2 billion into the poultry syndicate of Shonga Farms Holdings Limited. It is, therefore, unfortunate that the gains of Shonga Farm, which has provided more than 4,500 direct jobs and about 6,000 indirect jobs for Kwara’s teeming youths, have been deliberately subjected to political attacks by those elected to protect the public interest.
These state-sponsored attacks, including harsh government policies targeted at the farm holding, all aimed at killing all projects linked to Saraki’s name, have regrettably led to the current collapse of Shonga Farm.
The Kwara PDP expresses our worry over the trend of undermining and killing state-owned projects that are supposed to benefit all Kwarans, merely as a show of unreasonable competition with Saraki. This unfortunate trend harms the people of Kwara, who stand to lose the most from these shortsighted political maneuvers. Our party remains committed to advocating for and supporting initiatives that foster educational and technological development in Kwara state. We believe that continued investment in our educational institutions is essential for the progress and prosperity of our state and its people’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
