The Kwara State government is to renovate 420 classrooms across the 16 councils, it was learnt yesterday.

Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed stated this while addressing members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the monthly stakeholders meeting held at the Banquet Hall in Ilorin, the state capital.

According to him, the schools have been selected and will be given a face-lift to make the environment conducive for teaching and learning.

Ahmed promised to complete all ongoing projects as part of his efforts at providing quality and necessary infrastructure in the state.

He assured the party stalwarts that the government would continue to pay contractors through the Kwara Infrastructure Fund (IF-K) with a view to completing the projects on schedule.

State Chairman of the APC, Ishola Balogun-Fulani, lauded Ahmed for sustaining the monthly interactive session, which, according to him, had kept Kwarans informed of development in the state and Nigeria as a whole.
