Insecurity: Kwara Gives LOs Marching Orders
Governor's Liaison Officers (LOs) in the 16 local government areas of Kwara State have been urged to always alert government on noticeable security breaches and failed projects in their respective local government areas for prompt action.
The Secretary to the state government (SSG), Alh. Isiaka Gold, made this call while speaking at a one-day sensitization programme organized for the LOs in Ilorin, the state capital.
Gold noted that the role of stakeholders in sustaining the prevailing peace and harmony in the state could not be overemphasized, and identified proper monitoring and evaluation as one of the cardinal ways of ensuring cost effectiveness in execution of government projects.
The SSG described unemployment, socio-economic lopsidedness and poverty as major causes of insecurity, thus urging the government representatives (LOs) to ensure that good governance is felt at the local government level.
He emphasized the need for the LOs to ensure that projects sited in their councils were well monitored and executed, stressing that they should avail themselves of project details for proper evaluation and quality report to the government.
He said the programme was important as it would keep the participants abreast of contemporary challenges in the area of good governance.
In his remarks, the Special Assistant to Governor AbdulFatah Ahmed on Intergovernmental (Local), Alhaji Aro Yahaya, said the sensitization programme for the LOs was necessitated by government's huge investment in infrastructure and the need for quality service delivery.
Yahaya emphasized the need for LOs to monitor and evaluate government projects with all sense of patriotism and honesty.
