In a significant move to bolster infrastructure and human capital development, the Kwara State Government has approved a slew of multibillion-naira construction projects across various sectors. This development is part of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq's vision for a stronger, more inclusive future, anchored on solid infrastructure and human capital development.
At the forefront of these approvals is the construction of a four-story administrative/senate building for the Kwara State University of Education (KWSUED), a key component of the Kwara Smart City project. The project, awarded to M C & T Limited, is valued at N11.9 billion and is expected to be completed within 15 months. The building will house essential facilities, including Senate/Council Chambers, Conference Rooms, and office accommodations for key management personnel.
In addition to the KWSUED project, the council has also approved the construction of the Ojoku-Ilemona Bye-Pass Road in Ilemona, Oyun Local Government Area. This 15km project, valued at N6.4 billion, is expected to be completed within 19 months and will significantly impact communities in the axis. The road will directly connect traffic from the axis to the 49km tax credit-funded Afon-Ojoku-Offa-Odo Otin road.
Furthermore, the cabinet has approved a N2 billion contract for the construction of Alabe-Oreke Road in Ifelodun, connecting the area with other agrarian communities in the rocky terrain. The project, awarded to Wallyson Ventures, is expected to be completed within 12 months.
These approvals are part of the administration's broader effort to modernize the state and attract investment. The Kwara Smart City initiative is envisioned as a hub for education, innovation, and urban development, combining physical infrastructure with human capital development to foster inclusive growth.
Governor AbdulRazaq's administration has consistently prioritized infrastructure renewal and educational development since assuming office in 2019. These latest approvals demonstrate the administration's commitment to fostering inclusive growth and developing the state's infrastructure .
