*Ahmed: we've fulfilled campaign promises

Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed has said his administration spent N9.2 billion on infrastructural development in seven years.

He noted that despite lean resources, his administration has fulfilled its campaign promises to the people.

According to him, about N3.5 billion was spent in Kwara Central; N3.2 billion in Kwara South and N2.9 billion in Kwara North since establishment of the Kwara Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS).

He said KWIRS had raised the state's revenue in the last three years, adding that the annual IGR improved from N7 billion to N17 billion.

The governor spoke in Ilorin at an interactive session with reporters to mark his seventh year in office.

According to him, he ran for office on the platform of 'continuity' and in line with this, his government has completed all projects inherited from the previous administration.

The governor added that his administration also initiated and completed projects across sectors, noting that several others are ongoing.

He listed these as Engineering Complex of the Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete; renovation of five General Hospitals; rehabilitation of Ejiba road, Ilorin; Oloro palace road, Oro; Rore-Ipetu-Arandun road; construction of Oko Bridge-Oro Ago; construction of Erin-Ile/Ilemona road; Ogbondoroko township road, and others.

Some ongoing projects include Geri-Alimi Diamond underpass; dualisation of Sango-UITH road; ultra-modern modern Secretariat for workers; repositioning of state media houses, among others.

Ahmed, who said the projects were funded by the State Infrastructure Development Fund (IF-K), promised that all projects will be completed before his tenure expired.
