The Kwara State government has in the past three and half years completed over 900 kilometers of road.

The state commissioner for Works and Transport, Dr Abubakar Amuda Kannike disclosed this to LEADERSHIP Sunday during an interview in Ilorin.

Kannike said the government considered road construction as a platform for viable economic activities and was determined to ensure that all roads are motorable across the state.

He also stated that the government would not renege on its assurances to zero tolerance for potholes on the roads.

The commissioner said the present administration was not oblivious of paucity of funds confronting it but took bold step to initiate new road projects for the benefit of the masses.

"We were supposed to do 800 kilometers of rural roads and 400 kilometers of state roads. As of the last count when we did a proper analysis, we had gone beyond the 800 mark of the 1, 200 total kilometers. And right now, the full intervention in rural and state roads, has probably progressed beyond 900. So in any situation, that is over 75 per cent of our Medium Term Sectoral Strategy ," he said.
