As part of its strategic objective of strengthening healthcare delivery in the Kwara State through access to quality primary healthcare centres, the government is to spend more than N200 million on the rehabilitation of five general hospitals in Offa, Omu Aran, Kaiama, Ilorin and Share.

Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, who disclosed this during the 2012 Omu Aran Day and N2 billion Development Fund launch by the Omu Aran community, said the project was in line with his administration’s shared prosperity agenda.

The governor advocated for a greater involvement of communities in self-help projects for the acceleration of developmental efforts of government for speedy development of the state and described the people of the state as veritable stakeholders in the realisation of his administration’s shared prosperity programme designed to boost the provision of infrastructure and human capital for economic growth.

Alhaji Ahmed said the challenges of governance had made it expedient for greater partnership between the various communities and the state government and called for "greater participation in the development of our state not only through a positive engagement with government policies, but also through communal self-help projects."

The governor also disclosed that 244 classrooms in the state-owned schools were undergoing renovation to create a conducive atmosphere for learning using enhanced education infrastructure.

In his address, Chief Peter Oyinloye, President of Omu Aran Development Association, said the funds realised would be used for the rehabilitation of Omu Aran Township roads, upgrading of facilities at Omu Aran High School and the construction of a modern palace for the traditional ruler of the town.
