Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State has condemned the attitude of leaders in the country which has led to the present level of decay in infrastructure, describing such attitude as a crime against humanity.

The governor stated this while addressing indigenes of the state under the auspices of Kwara State Association of Nigeria, in North America, Washington DC.

The North America Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the group was celebrating its 6th National Convention with representatives of its UK chapter in attendance.

Ahmed said the government had commenced the repair of vital infrastructure such as roads throughout the state to fast-track development and growth.

He also informed the residents that the state had brought an end a situation where parents send their children abroad in pursuit of quality education as a result of lack of infrastructure.

According to him, the opportunity of continuity in governance in the state had made it possible for him to build on the foundation laid by the former governor, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

He said: "The current administration in Kwara State has refused to break-off from the past government in the state and so continues to pride itself as ‘a government of continuity."

He said the government’s investments in infrastructure, plans to cluster cooperatives along value chain, educational reform and upgrades had set the state on the path of progress.
